Ingredients
For the filling
- 1 portion 25gr Butter
- 100 ml Milk lukewarm
- 15 g 1/3 cube of yeast or dry yeast
- 20 g Sugar / brown or white
- 1 middle Egg
- 250 g Spelt flour
- 1 pinch Salt
- 125 ml Milk
- 25 g Honey
- 25 g Sugar
- 15 g Semolina
- 75 g Ground poppy seeds
- 25 g Plum jam / apricot jam
- 1 pinch Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Rum
For the glaze
- 50 g Powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoon Water
Instructions
The dough
- Melt the butter and let it cool down. With the fresh yeast, heat the milk lukewarm. Crumble the yeast in a cup and stir with a teaspoon of sugar until the yeast has dissolved.
- If you use dry yeast like I do, you can save yourself the need to dissolve it. Then simply mix and knead all the ingredients.
- Whisk the egg, mix the flour, sugar and salt in a bowl. Add the milk and yeast (dry or fresh) and the egg and stir. Add the melted butter and knead all ingredients into a dough for 5 minutes.
- Put in a bowl, cover and let rise in the lukewarm oven for 1.5 hours.
For the poppy seed filling
- Grind the poppy seeds, or buy ground poppy seeds.
- Bring the milk to the boil with the honey and sugar in a saucepan, stir in the semolina and cook over a medium heat for about 3 minutes.
- Take the pot away from the stove and stir in the poppy seeds, powder or, like me, apricot jam, cinnamon and rum and let it cool down.
The dough
- Grease a flat cake pan or springform pan well, I had a silicone form.
- Roll out the yeast dough into a rectangle. Brush with the cooled poppy seed filling, leaving the edge a little free.
- Then roll up the dough from the long side. Then cut into slices about 2.5 cm thick. Place the slices in the buttered dish with a small gap between them and cover for another 30 minutes.
- In the meantime, preheat the top / bottom oven to 180C.
- Then bake the poppy seed rolls on the middle rack for about 25-30 minutes. Until they look golden brown.
The glaze
- Mix in the icing sugar in between.
- If the poppy seed rolls come out of the oven, please glaze them immediately. For me personally, you should enjoy them fresh in one day. The next day they aren't that tasty anymore. But that's my opinion. Try it yourself. It is worth it ..
