Poppy-seed filling:
- 45 gram Poppy seeds
- 90 ml Milk
- 30 gram Sugar
- 12 gram Semolina
- 2 gram Vanilla sugar
Instructions
- In warm milk, crumble the yeast, add 4 tablespoons of flour from the total amount and 1 teaspoon of sugar from the total amount. Mix it. Pour into a bread baking dish. Close the lid and leave for 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes, add the remaining dough ingredients to the bread baking dish. Set the dough preparation program (30 minutes of kneading plus 1 hour of proofing).
- While the bread maker is working, let's do the filling. Boil the milk with cinnamon and sugar, add the nuts and stir for 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir for 1 minute. Let it cool down.
- When the filling cools down, add the protein and mix well.
- Poppy seed filling. Ground poppy seeds. Bring the milk, sugar and vanilla sugar to a boil, add the poppy seeds and semolina in a thin stream and cook for 3 minutes, stirring. Cool the filling.
- The dough is ready. Spread and divide into 2 equal parts.
- Roll out a rectangle measuring 33 by 20 cm from the dough . Apply the nut filling and roll it into a roll -the length of the roll is 33 cm
- Roll out the second part of the dough and apply the poppy seed filling. Roll it into a roll.
- Cut both rolls lengthwise - you will get 2 nut and 2 poppy strips Twist the nut and poppy strips together - we will get 2 pigtails.
- We put the pigtails in a greased split form with a width of 20 cm, put a glass in the middle. If there is a mold with a hole in the middle, use it.
- Cover with a towel and leave in a warm place for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, brush the dough with yolk. preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Baked for almost 50 minutes - focus on your oven!!!
- Let cool on the grill.
- Bon Appetit!
