Poppy seed a typical central and eastern European ingredient ..There are millions of poppy seed recipes (cakes, pies, buns, dumplings and so on) my mom makes wonderful grounded poppy seeds rustic bread ..god ! Read more eat and go to haven..amazing...:)marchwiak.:marchew means just carrot in Polish. Marchwiak is a roll cake with carrot-poppy filling from ..a beautiful region of eastern Poland, with Lublin as its capital city. Marchwiaki were traditionally baked for polands All Saint's Day. A very similar yeast roll cake, but with other filling (apple-poppy) its close to usa cinnamon roll Ingredients:
4 cups flour |
1 tbspoon fresh yeast(or dry yeast) |
1/2 cup milk |
1/2 cup water |
1/2 cup sugar |
2 egg yolks |
1 egg white |
1 egg |
a pinch of salt |
1/4 cup lard (melted) |
3/4 cup grated carrot |
1 handful poppy seeds( or walnuts crushed) |
(optionally add 1 tablespoon grated orange or lemon zest - it is not included to the traditional recipe, but it will improve the taste deffinitely) |
icing: icing sugar + lemon juice |
few poppy seeds more to sprinkle |
Directions:
1. 1. Heat the milk (but don't boil it), add yeast, sugar and 1 tablespoon flour. Set in a warm place and let it grow.
2. 2. Sieve flour, add yeast, water, whisked 2 yolks with 1 egg, salt and melted lard (everything in room temperature, as it always should be when baking yeast cakes!) and knead the dough. When everything combines well and you obtained elastic dough, form a ball and let it grow in a bowl. When it doubles its surface, knead again.
3. 3. Sprinkle your workplace with some flour. Now decide if you want 2 rolls or 1 roll and six lovely buns. In next point I will first continue about how to make roll cake.
4. 4. Roll the dough
5. 5. When your dough is rolled into 0,5 - 1 cm thick, smear it with egg white. I do it always in Christmas poppy seed or nut roll cakes to avoid gaps between dough and filling. Now, sprinkle it with grated carrot and a handful of poppy seed (and optionally lemon or orange zest, which is highly recommended and, if you wish the roll to be sweeter, sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar)
6. * 3/4 cup is to fill 1 roll cake. prepare also another 3/4 cup to fill the second roll if you decide to bake 2 rolls
7. 6. Now slowly fold the dough. Put it gently on a sheet of baking paper. Sprinkle with the resting few poppy seeds. Bake in 350 f oven about 30 minutes or until golden brown.
8. 7. Prepare the icing my mixing lemon juice with icing sugar and pour it on already cooled roll cake.
9. 8. About sweet breakfast buns - after kneading-growing process, just form lovely round-shaped buns (I make six) and let them grow for a while. Smear with egg white and sprinkle with poppy seeds and bake until golden brown.
