Almond poppy seed bread

3 cups flour
2 1/2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 cups milk
1 1/3 cups vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 1/2 teaspoons almond extract
1 1/2 tablespoons poppy seeds

Glaze
3/4 cup powder sugar
1/4 cup orange juice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon almond extract

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Add milk, veggie oil, eggs, extracts, and poppy seeds and beat for 1 minute. Pour batter into 2 loaf pans sprayed with nonstick cooking spray ( I did it the old fashion way by using shortening and flour so i would have NO problems with it sticking).
Bake for 50-60 minutes (I did less, but it might be because I have a gas oven) or until tester comes out clean.
While bread is baking , whisk glaze ingredients together. When bread is done brush on hot bread and allow to cool.
