Coconut-Poppy Seed Bread (Eggless)

Hello friends, here is a different, easy and tasty bread recipe for you all. I took the basic idea of this recipe from a cook book, but not followed the step to step procedure as in the book. I did some changes in the ingredients. I skipped adding Soy Milk ( was in the original recipe), I somehow don't like the flavor. You can substitute the regular Milk with Soy Milk and some other flavors if you like. Give it a try. Have fun.

Preparation time:2 hr 20 min.
Servings: 1 Loaf

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cup All purpose flour
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup freshly grated Coconut
• 2 tbsp Poppy seeds / Gasagase
• 2 tbsp Butter(melted)
• 1 1/2 cup Milk
• Crushed Cardamom 
• 3/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp baking Soda
• Pinch of salt

Method:

• Soak the Poppy seeds for 1 hr.
• Then grind the soaked Poppy seeds with Coconut and about 3/4 cup Milk into smooth paste.
• Take Sugar and Butter in a bowl and mix well. Then add All purpose flour, Baking powder, baking soda, ground mixture, crushed Cardamom and salt to taste, mix very well.
• Now add the remaining Milk and mix well.
• Now grease the loaf pan with little Oil or Butter, pour the mixture.
• In the mean while pre- heat the oven at 350 degree F for 15 min.
• Now place the loaf pan in center of the oven and bake for 55-60 min.
• After 55-60 min, insert a knife or fork through to check if the bread is evenly baked. If the dough sticks to the knife, bake again for 3-4 min.
• Allow to cool for 10 min.
• Serve with a cup of hot Tea or Coffee.
