Polish Poppyseed Loaf

Christmas Eve - Polish - 2020

Slice the loaf, and plate the pieces with the cut edge up, 

to show off the beautiful pinwheel interior of the 

poppyseed filling.

A dark brown exterior ensures that the layers

of the interior are cooked through.

blending the filling of soaked raisins, 

poppyseed and an eggwhite meringue.

A sweet dough is used for the loaf.

Roll out the dough and place on a large sheet of plastic wrap. 

This aids in the rolling and wrapping process.

Spread the filling leaving a boarder of dough at the edges

to seal the dough and enclose the filling. 

Place filled loafs on parchment paper to rise.

Once the loaves are puffy, not doubled, they are ready

for the oven.

These can be baked a day ahead if necessary. 

Once cooled wrap in plastic.  They should be completely cool before slicing. 

After a heavy meal, this is the perfect dessert, lightly sweet and not too heavy.

Enjoy with a cup of coffee.

As Always,

ENJOY!
