Usually, I don't get much of an immediate response from people when I serve this. They're too busy eating it! Poppy Seed Roll really brings the light to my husband's eyes. 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!

POPPY SEED ROLL (MAKOWIEC) & BREAD MACHINE METHOD



Poppy Seed Roll (Makowiec) & Bread Machine Method image

Enjoyed at Christmas and Easter. I make this for friends and family to take home on Easter. Some likes lots of poppy seed filling and others request a little. It's hard to please everyone with one roll so I make a bunch. Depending on how dry your flour is you may need more or less water. You can make the dough the day before let raise one hour punch down then refrigerate over night. Then bring to room temp. Let rise 1 hour. Posted pictures on March,05 Alternate way to make dough in the food processor is the 1st picture, 2 is kneading in processor with eggs and wet ingredients, 3rd is the proof, 4th is 3 batches of dough one as recipe calls for,one is with 1 cup of rye and the third is with one cup of wheat flour(which made a drier dough). 5th picture dough rolled out with filling on it. 6th is rolling up. 7th Placed in loaf pans. 8th is egg washed and topped with dry poppy seeds. 9th baked. EASTER 2006-made dough in Bread Machine and it came out beautiful. The rest is really nice in the draft free and temp controlled machine.

Time 1h

Yield 2 loafs, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup shortening or 1/4 cup butter, softened
2 (1/2 ounce) packages dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water (body temp)
3 eggs, beaten
5 cups all-purpose flour (Don`t pack the flour. Each cup should weight 4 ounces)
2 (12 1/2 ounce) cans poppy seed filling, if you are like my dh and others that enjoy lots go ahead and use twice the amount of solo filling

Steps:

  • Scald milk and stir in sugar, salt and shortening or butter.
  • Cool to lukewarm.
  • Dissolve yeast in warm water.
  • Stir until dissolved, then stir into the lukewarm milk mixture.
  • Add beaten eggs and 3 cups flour.
  • Beat until smooth and stir in an additional 2 cups flour.
  • Turn dough out onto lightly floured board and knead until smooth and elastic.
  • Place in a greased bowl and brush top with vegetable oil.
  • Cover and let rise in a warm place, free from draft, until double in bulk (about 1 hour).
  • Punch down and turn out onto lightly floured board.
  • Cut into 2 rounds or 4 to make smaller loafs.
  • Roll out one dough into a rectangle about 12x9.
  • Spread 1 can of filling within 1 inch of sides.
  • Roll up long side into a roll.
  • Pinch seams tight so no filling escapes. You can use egg slightly beaten to seal. I always have poppy seed escape.
  • A Hint if you want it to keep the shape of the roll place it in parchment paper securing the seams of the parchment and make sure the seam of the dough is down. I prefer to bake in loaf pans as you see in the pictures I posted here.
  • Place on pan and let rise 1 hour until doubled.
  • Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F for 30 minutes.
  • Until nicely browned.
  • Remove parchment if using and let cool.
  • You can top with a powdered sugar glaze or slice and spread some sweet butter on it.
  • Alternative Bread machine Method:.
  • Place the eggs, room temperature buttermilk, and 1/2 water in first unless your machine has wet last then reverse. Cover with 2 cups flour add butter and salt top with the rest of the flour and sugar. Make a small indent in the flour and place yeast in (Using 2 1/2 teaspoons Rapid Rise Active yeast for bread machines).
  • Set on dough cycle and let process for a bit if it needs more water slowly add. Then follow with rolling and filling as above. I found that the last rising was 15 minutes with this method!

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.

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.

  • Drain and puree in a food processor, about 4 minutes.
  • Return poppy seed puree to same saucepan.
  • Add sugar, butter, raisins, almonds, vanilla extract, and honey.

Tips:

  • Use fresh poppy seeds for the best flavor. You can find them in the baking section of most grocery stores.
  • If you don't have a bread machine, you can still make this recipe by hand. Just mix the ingredients together in a large bowl and knead for 8-10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic. Then, let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
  • To make the filling, combine the poppy seeds, sugar, milk, butter, and vanilla extract in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the filling has thickened. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  • When you're ready to assemble the rolls, punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece of dough out into a 12-inch rope. Spread some of the poppy seed filling down the center of each rope. Pinch the edges of the dough together to seal in the filling. Place the rolls on a greased baking sheet and let them rise for 30 minutes, or until they have doubled in size.
  • Bake the rolls in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
