Polish Poppy Seed Roll
A traditional Polish poppy seed roll, often made for Christmas. This dense and sweet cake features a rich poppy seed filling swirled within a soft yeast dough, creating a beautiful spiral pattern when sliced. It's a labor of love that's well worth the effort.
๐ง ์ฌ๋ฃ
- 7 g Active dry yeast(or 2.5 tsp)
- 150 ml Warm milk(about 40-45ยฐC (105-115ยฐF))
- 50 g Granulated sugar(for the dough)
- 500 g All-purpose flour(plus more for dusting)
- 75 g Unsalted butter(softened)
- 2 large Egg yolks
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 300 g Poppy seeds
- 150 g Honey
- 100 ml Milk(for the filling)
- 100 g Raisins
- 100 g Chopped walnuts or almonds(or a mix)
- 50 g Orange peel(finely chopped, or zest of 1 large orange)
- 1 egg Egg wash(beaten with 1 tbsp milk or water)

Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, combine the warm milk (ensure it's not too hot, or it will kill the yeast), 1 tsp of the granulated sugar, and the active dry yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy and bubbly. This indicates the yeast is active.
โฑ๏ธ 10 minutes - 2
Make the dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, remaining granulated sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center. Pour in the activated yeast mixture, softened butter, and egg yolks. Mix with a wooden spoon or in a stand mixer with a dough hook until a shaggy dough forms. Knead on a lightly floured surface for 8-10 minutes (or 5-7 minutes in a stand mixer) until the dough is smooth, elastic, and no longer sticky. It should spring back when gently poked.
โฑ๏ธ 15 minutes - 3
First rise: Lightly grease a clean bowl. Place the dough in the bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap or a damp kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size. The dough should feel light and airy.
โฑ๏ธ 1.5 hours - 4
Prepare the poppy seed filling: While the dough is rising, grind the poppy seeds using a food grinder or spice grinder until finely ground. Be careful not to over-grind into a paste. In a saucepan, combine the ground poppy seeds, honey, and milk. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, for about 5-10 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and stir in the raisins, chopped nuts, and orange peel. Let the filling cool completely.
โฑ๏ธ 30 minutes - 5
Shape the roll: Once the dough has doubled, punch it down gently to release the air. Turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and roll it into a large rectangle, approximately 30x40 cm (12x16 inches) and about 0.5 cm (1/4 inch) thick. Spread the cooled poppy seed filling evenly over the dough, leaving a 2 cm (3/4 inch) border along one of the long edges. Carefully roll up the dough tightly from the long edge opposite the border, like a Swiss roll. Pinch the seam to seal.
โฑ๏ธ 20 minutes - 6
Second rise: Gently transfer the rolled dough, seam-side down, to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover loosely with plastic wrap or a damp towel. Let it rise in a warm place for another 45-60 minutes, or until visibly puffed up. Preheat your oven to 180ยฐC (350ยฐF) during the last 15 minutes of rising.
โฑ๏ธ 1 hour - 7
Bake the Makowiec: Brush the top of the risen roll evenly with the egg wash. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until the roll is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. If the top starts to brown too quickly, you can loosely tent it with aluminum foil.
โฑ๏ธ 50 minutes - 8
Cool and serve: Let the Makowiec cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. This is important for the filling to set properly and for clean slices. Slice thickly to reveal the beautiful spiral pattern.

- โFor the best texture, grind the poppy seeds just before using them. A food grinder or a powerful spice grinder works well.
- โMakowiec is a beloved Christmas tradition in Poland, often served alongside other festive cakes and pastries.
- โWhen slicing, use a sharp serrated knife for clean cuts that showcase the distinctive spiral of the poppy seed filling.
- โEnsure your milk for activating the yeast is warm, not hot. Too hot and it will kill the yeast; too cool and it won't activate properly.

- Use different nuts such as pecans or hazelnuts for a varied flavor profile.
- For an extra rich roll, consider a 'double roll' technique: roll out the dough, spread filling, roll up, then roll out the log again and spread a thinner layer of filling before the final roll.
- Add candied fruit or dried cranberries to the filling for extra sweetness and chewiness.
