He prefers it over any birthday cake I could bake. I like to serve this bread as a just-right, not-too-sweet dessert. And i always offer a glass of cold milk, too-my husband's part of a family dairy!

Deluxe Lemon Poppy Seed Rolls with Raspberry Filling image

Lemon poppy seed dough filled with seedless raspberry jam rolled up cinnamon roll-style and topped with a lemon glaze. I came up with this as a compromise for an Easter treat when my daughter wanted lemon poppy seed cake, my son wanted cinnamon rolls, and I wanted something with raspberry.

Time 2h40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 16

¾ cup milk
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
1 lemon, zested
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
2 cups all-purpose flour, or more as needed
¼ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 ¼ teaspoons salt
½ cup seedless raspberry jam
½ cup confectioners' sugar
½ tablespoon milk
½ tablespoon lemon juice
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Combine milk, egg, egg yolk, lemon juice, sugar, poppy seeds, lemon zest, and yeast in a large bowl. Stir in 2 cups flour, butter, and salt, working in more flour as needed to pull dough away from the sides of the bowl.

FATZ COPY CAT POPPY SEED ROLLS RECIPE - (3.8/5)



Fatz Copy Cat Poppy Seed Rolls Recipe - (3.8/5) image

Provided by Susan52

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups warm water
2 tablespoons active dry yeast
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup non-instant dry milk powder*
1 tablespoon salt
1/4 cup poppy seeds
3 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
3 cups King Arthur Traditional Whole Wheat or 100% White Whole Wheat Flour

Steps:

  • Pour the water into a large bowl. Sprinkle the yeast on top and stir with a whisk until dissolved. Add the brown sugar and 1 cup of the all-purpose flour. Let this sit for about 10 minutes, to give the yeast a chance to get started. Stir the dry milk, the salt, the poppy seeds and 1 cup of the unbleached flour together and add to the yeast mixture. Stir until well combined. Add the rest of the flours, a cup at a time, stirring well after each addition, until the dough has pulled away from the sides of the bowl. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured counter and knead it, adding more flour as necessary, until the dough is smooth. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap. Place the bowl in a warm, draft-free spot and let rise until it has doubled in size, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Punch the dough down and turn it out onto a floured counter. Divide the dough into two equal pieces and roll each into a rope 24 inches long. Cut each rope into 24 one-inch pieces. Roll each piece into a round ball and place on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet. The rolls need to be two inches apart. Spray the rolls with water and let rise for about 30 minutes, until they're a little swollen. Preheat the oven to 400°Fahrenheit while the rolls are rising. Bake the rolls for 15 to 20 minutes, or until well-browned and baked through. Cool on racks.

OLD WORLD POPPY SEED ROLL



Old World Poppy Seed Roll image

Tender, soft, sweet yeast bread swirled with a creamy homemade poppy seed filling. Growing up, my mother and aunts always made this Eastern European bread for Easter and Christmas. Looks complicated, but is easy enough to make for an Old-World treat. I like it best after the second day.

Categories     Bread     Yeast Bread Recipes

Time 2h50m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 12

½ pound poppy seeds
¾ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 teaspoon lemon juice
½ cup hot milk
1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
½ cup warm water (100 degrees F/38 degrees C)
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour, or more if needed
½ teaspoon salt
¼ cup butter
1 egg, separated - white reserved

Steps:

  • Place poppy seeds into a food processor and process until seeds are ground, about 1 minute.
  • Mix poppy seeds with 3/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon melted butter, lemon juice, and hot milk in a bowl; stir to combine. Cover poppy seed filling and refrigerate while making bread (filling will set up and thicken as it chills).
  • Mix yeast with water and 2 tablespoons sugar in a small bowl. Allow to stand until the yeast forms a creamy layer.
  • Whisk flour with salt in a bowl; use a pastry cutter to cut 1/4 cup butter into the flour mixture until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Pour yeast mixture and egg yolk into flour mixture and stir to make a soft dough.
  • Turn dough out onto a floured work surface and knead until smooth and slightly springy, about 5 minutes. If dough is too sticky, knead in more flour, about 2 tablespoons at a time.
  • Cut dough into 2 equal pieces. Roll each piece out into a 12x16-inch rectangle.
  • Spread half the poppy seed filling over each rectangle, leaving a 1-inch border. Fold the 1-inch border back over the filling on all sides and press down.
  • Pick up the shorter side of a dough rectangle and roll it like a jelly roll; repeat with second rectangle. Pinch ends together or tuck ends under to prevent filling from leaking out.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; place rolls seam sides down on the baking sheet and allow to rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Beat egg white in a bowl until frothy; brush the rolls with beaten egg white.
  • Bake in preheated oven until dark golden brown on top, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from oven and cover rolls with a clean kitchen towel until cool to keep crust soft. Cool completely before slicing.
