Poppy Seed Loaf

A hearty Hungarian bread with a delicate filling. A Poppy Seed Loaf fits the description 100%. This is one of my favourite homemade loaves with the soft delicate bread, perfect on its own but with the filling is even better. The filling recipe includes walnuts, raisins and orange peel so you know its going to be excellent.

• Let rise in warm place.
• Touch side of loaf lightly with finger; if indentation remains, bread is ready to be baked. Bake at 350° F 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from pan to cooling rack; allow bread to come to room temperature before slicing.
