GERMAN POPPY SEED STOLLEN (MOHNSTOLLEN)



German Poppy Seed Stollen (Mohnstollen) image

This wonderful poppy seed stollen recipe is straight from Germany. It tastes best if you can freshly grind your poppy seeds. In Germany there are special poppy seed grinders, but you can use a mortar and pestle. Don't use a regular spice grinder, as poppy seeds contain a lot of oil and your grinder will get clogged up.

Time 3h40m

Yield 14

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 cups all-purpose flour
1 ounce fresh yeast
1 cup lukewarm milk
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 tablespoons white sugar
½ teaspoon salt
2 cups finely ground poppy seeds
1 cup hot whole milk
¾ cup white sugar
¼ cup raisins
2 tablespoons honey
4 teaspoons vanilla sugar
1 teaspoon rum
1 lemon, zested
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Place flour in a large bowl, make a well in the center, and crumble fresh yeast into it. Pour 1 cup lukewarm milk into the well and stir into the yeast. Cover and let rise in a warm place until foamy, about 15 minutes.
  • Mix flour from the sides of the bowl into the yeast mixture, a little at a time. Add butter, 6 tablespoons sugar, and salt and knead until a soft, pliable dough forms. Cover with a clean dish towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
  • Grease a baking sheet with butter. Sprinkle a work surface with flour and roll out dough into a thin rectangle.
  • Pour poppy seeds into a bowl and pour 1 cup hot milk on top. Add 3/4 cup sugar, raisins, honey, vanilla sugar, rum, and lemon zest and stir together until filling is well combined. Spread filling over dough rectangle. Roll up rectangle, starting at the longer side, and press seam together with your fingers. Place poppy seed stollen onto the prepared baking sheet with the seam side down. Cover and let stollen rise for 20 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bake stollen in the preheated oven until baked through, about 40 minutes. Allow to cool for about 1 hour and dust with confectioners' sugar.

Orange-and-Poppy-Seed Sheet Cake image

Full of citrus flavor, this recipe includes orange zest, sour cream, poppy seeds, and vanilla paste in the batter and orange juice in the luscious, easy icing. To serve, shower with more poppy seeds and get creative when cutting: Small and large planks, slices on the bias, and even triangles are fair game when it comes to a sheet cake.

Time 2h20m

Yield Serves 10 to 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 stick unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus more, softened, for pan
1 2/3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt (we use Diamond Crystal)
4 large eggs, room temperature
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest
2 tablespoons poppy seeds
2 teaspoons pure vanilla paste or extract
3/4 cup sour cream, room temperature
2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
1 teaspoon poppy seeds

Steps:

  • Cake: Preheat oven to 350°F. Brush a 9-by-13-inch or 8-by-12-inch baking pan with butter. Line with parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang on long sides. Butter parchment.
  • Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Combine eggs and sugar in the bowl of a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on high speed until thick and pale, about 4 minutes. Add flour mixture; beat to combine. Add butter, zest, poppy seeds, and vanilla; beat to combine. Add sour cream; beat until smooth.
  • Scrape batter into prepared pan, smoothing top with a spatula. Bake until top springs back when lightly touched and a tester inserted in center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes (for 9-by-13-inch) or about 40 minutes (for 8-by-12).
  • Let cool in pan on a wire rack 10 minutes. Using parchment overhangs, lift cake out of pan and let cool completely on rack. (Cake can be made to this point and stored at room temperature, wrapped in plastic, up to 1 day.)
  • Icing: Whisk together confectioners' sugar, butter, and orange juice until smooth. Spread over cake. Sprinkle with poppy seeds. Let set at least 20 minutes before serving. Iced cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days.

Tips:

  • Use fresh oranges for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh oranges, you can use orange juice concentrate, but be sure to dilute it with water according to the package directions.
  • Toast the poppy seeds before using them. This will bring out their flavor and make them more fragrant.
  • If you don't have a citrus zester, you can use a microplane grater to zest the oranges.
  • Be sure to knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This will help the stollen rise properly.
  • Let the stollen cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help it keep its shape.

Conclusion:

Orange and poppy seed stollen is a delicious and festive bread that is perfect for the holiday season. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you are looking for a traditional Christmas bread or simply a sweet and flavorful treat, orange and poppy seed stollen is sure to please.
