Almond Poppyseed Bread

Almond Poppy Seed Bread

This is one of our ALL TIME FAVORITE Breads here at the Cottonwood House.

When we owned our shop in Minnesota, my AMAZING FRIEND, Joan Stanly would bake this Bread for our Shop!

People would line up and wait for the Bread to arrive!

I would always save two loaves for my family, our eight children would fight over every last crumb!

LOVE YOU JOAN!
