Poppy Seed Twisted Bread

When I started searching for Ukrainian foods, it was in March, one of the first discoveries was Poppy Seeds Roll. It was a thick log of bread that was rolled with black Poppy Seed Paste. I was curious and I wanted to taste it, but I didn’t know where I could find the Poppy Seed Paste. Then, when I was walking along the street in a local town, I came across a shop called ‘European Grocery Store’. I popped in the shop and had a look around. Guess what I found there. A can of Poppy Seed Filling called ‘Masa Makowa’. Today I made this yummy treat using the ‘Masa Makowa’ and Ukrainian ‘Pampushky’ dough.

Ingredient

Food ration :

6 to 8 Servings

2 cups

Bread Flour *plus extra

2 teaspoons (7 g)

Dry Yeast

1/2 teaspoon

Salt

1/4 cup

Caster Sugar

Eggs *whisked, save 1 tablespoon for glazing

100 ml

Warm Milk

30 g (2 tablespoons)

melted Butter OR Sunflower Oil

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Combine Bread Flour, Yeast, Salt and Sugar in a large bowl. Make a well in the centre and pour in Eggs, warmed Milk and Melted Butter (OR Oil). Mix well and knead, adding extra Flour as required, for 2 to 3 minutes until smooth and elastic.

* Step 2

Cover with a plate or plastic wrap, and set aside in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

* Step 3

Divide the dough into 2 portions, On a floured surface, roll out each portion of the dough into a large 4-5mm thin oblong, that will be about 25cm x 40cm. Spread 1/2 of Poppy Seed Paste, and roll up into a log.

* Step 4

Cut each log in half lengthways, and you will have 4 strips. Twist each strip, place the twisted strips on a baking tray lined with baking paper, and form a shape that you like. I made a round shape. Set aside in a warm place and preheat the oven to 180℃.
