Poppy Roll - a delicacy that combines the intense aroma of poppy seeds with a fluffy and delicious dough. This classic recipe is perfect for moments when you want to impress family and friends with a refined yet easy-to-make dessert. The poppy roll is an ideal choice for brunch, dessert, or simply when you feel the need for something sweet and comforting. Total preparation time: 1 hour and 15 minutes (45 minutes active and 30 minutes resting) Number of servings: 12 slices Ingredients for the dough: - 600 g white flour - 200 g Rama Maestro - 2 eggs - Zest of one lemon - Juice of one lemon - 1 tablespoon rum essence - 1 cube of fresh yeast (25 g) - 150 ml warm milk - 6 tablespoons sugar - 1 pinch of salt Ingredients for the filling: - 250 g poppy seeds - 4 or 5 tablespoons sugar (to taste) Preparation: 1. Preparing the dough: In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar, Rama Maestro, lemon zest and juice, rum essence, and a pinch of salt. These ingredients will add a special flavor and a fine texture to the dough. 2. Activating the yeast: In another container, dissolve the yeast cube in the warm milk, adding a teaspoon of sugar. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy. This step is essential for achieving a fluffy dough. 3. Mixing the ingredients: Add the yeast mixture to the wet ingredients and gradually incorporate the flour. Knead the dough until it becomes elastic and homogeneous. Be careful with the amount of flour; the dough should be soft but not sticky. 4. Resting the dough: Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let the dough rest for 20-30 minutes in a warm place. This resting time will allow the yeast to act, and the dough will rise, becoming easy to shape. 5. Preparing the filling: Meanwhile, prepare the filling by mixing the poppy seeds with the sugar. If you prefer a sweeter poppy filling, feel free to adjust the sugar amount. 6. Forming the rolls: Once the dough has risen, divide it into two equal parts. Roll out each part on a well-floured work surface, forming two thin sheets. Sprinkle half of the poppy and sugar mixture on each sheet, then carefully roll them up. 7. Baking: Place each roll in a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake them in a preheated oven at 180°C for 45 minutes. For the first 30 minutes, maintain a lower temperature to allow the dough to bake evenly, then increase the heat to achieve a golden crust. 8. Cooling: After baking, let the rolls cool in the oven to avoid cracking. This method retains moisture and helps maintain the fluffy texture of the rolls. 9. Serving: The poppy rolls can be served warm or at room temperature, alongside a glass of fresh fruit juice or a cup of fragrant tea. You can also dust the rolls with powdered sugar for an elegant appearance. Useful tips: - If you want to add a note of diversity, you can replace some of the poppy seeds with ground nuts or add raisins for extra texture. - Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature to facilitate mixing. - Use a silicone spatula to mix the dough, as it helps achieve a uniform texture. Frequently asked questions: 1. Can I use dry yeast instead of fresh yeast? Yes, you can use 7 g of dry yeast, but make sure to activate it according to the instructions on the package. 2. How can I store the poppy roll? The rolls store well in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days or can be frozen for later enjoyment. 3. What other recipes can I try with poppy seeds? You can explore recipes for poppy seed muffins or cakes with poppy cream, both being delicious and easy to make. Calories and nutritional benefits: Each serving of poppy roll contains approximately 250-300 calories, depending on the amount of sugar and fats used. Poppy seeds are an excellent source of nutrients, having antioxidant properties and being rich in omega-3 fatty acids. In conclusion, poppy roll is a dessert that not only delights the taste buds but also brings a touch of tradition to every bite. Enjoy and don't forget to savor every moment spent in the kitchen!
