Blueberry Poppyseed Bread
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Mix all ingredients except blueberries in a large bowl and stir well.
Grease and flour bread pans.
Pour mixture into prepared bread pans.
Sprinkle blueberries on the tops of the mixtures evenly. Press slightly into dough with a spoon. (This should keep them from all sinking to the bottom)
Place in oven and bake large pans for about 50 minutes. Small pans for about 30. Bread is done when it is a golden color and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
Allow bread to cool for 10 minutes in pans before removing.
Pour glaze over bread, spreading with a knife or a spoon. If any drips off, try to put it back on the top of the bread using your spoon.
