Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 350°F and coating a loaf pan with a light layer of grease to prevent sticking.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the muffin mix with water and egg, stirring until the mixture reaches a just-moistened consistency.
- Gently incorporate the poppy seeds from the accompanying package into the batter, ensuring even distribution.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, creating a smooth surface.
- Use a knife to artfully swirl the cherry pie filling throughout the batter, creating a marbled effect.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-55 minutes, monitoring until the top achieves a golden-brown hue and a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean.
- Remove from the oven and allow the bread to rest in the pan for 5 minutes, which helps it set and prevents crumbling.
- Carefully loosen the edges and extract the bread from the pan, then position on a cooling rack.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing to maintain its structural integrity.
- Once cooled, store the bread in an airtight container to preserve its moisture and freshness.
Notes
- Ensure the muffin mix is evenly stirred with water and egg to create a smooth, lump-free batter for the best texture.
- Gently fold poppy seeds into the mixture to distribute them evenly without overmixing, which can make the bread tough.
- Swirl cherry pie filling carefully through the batter to create beautiful marbled streaks without completely mixing it in.
- Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center – it should come out clean with no wet batter clinging to it.
- Cool the bread completely before slicing to prevent crumbling and help it maintain its structural integrity.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to keep the bread moist and fresh.
