Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams All-purpose flour
- 120 milliliters Milk
- 50 grams Butter
- 2 large Eggs
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 2.5 teaspoons Dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 200 grams Poppy seeds
- 50 grams Honey
- 50 grams Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 50 grams Raisins (optional)
- 50 milliliters Milk (for filling)
Instructions
1. Warm the milk (120 ml) slightly and pour it into the bread machine pan.
2. Add the butter (50 g), eggs (2), granulated sugar (50 g), and salt (1 teaspoon) to the pan.
3. Add the all-purpose flour (400 g) and dry yeast (2.5 teaspoons) into the pan, ensuring the yeast does not touch the liquid.
4. Set the bread machine to the dough cycle and start. This will mix, knead, and allow the dough to rise.
5. While the dough is being prepared, make the poppy seed filling: soak the poppy seeds (200 g) in boiling water for about 15 minutes, then drain well.
6. Grind the softened poppy seeds using a food processor or a spice grinder until they form a paste.
7. In a small saucepan, combine the ground poppy seeds, honey (50 g), powdered sugar (50 g), orange zest (1 teaspoon), vanilla extract (1 teaspoon), milk (50 ml), and raisins (if using). Heat gently, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens. Set aside to cool.
8. Once the bread machine cycle is complete, remove the dough and place it on a lightly floured surface. Roll it out into a rectangle approximately 30x25 cm (12x10 inches).
9. Spread the cooled poppy seed filling evenly over the dough, leaving a 1 cm (1/2 inch) border around the edges.
10. Starting from the longer side, roll the dough into a tight log. Pinch the edges to seal the seam and both ends.
11. Place the roll seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover loosely with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise for 30 minutes.
12. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
13. Bake the poppy seed roll for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.
14. Cool completely before slicing and serving. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or glaze with a simple icing.
