Poppy filling for roll

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make poppy seed filling for a roll? Prepare the necessary ingredients. You can use sugar instead of honey. Also suitable dried fruits for filling are dried apricots or prunes.

2. STEP 2

   

   Steam the raisins. How to steam raisins correctly? Rinse the raisins thoroughly. Pour hot water over the raisins and leave for 10-15 minutes. During this time it will become soft and the filling will be juicier. Drain and dry the raisins with paper towels. If you use other dried fruits, do the same with them.

3. STEP 3

   

   Place poppy seeds in a small saucepan. Fill it with water at the rate of one part poppy seed and two parts water. Place the pan on the stove and bring the poppy seeds to a boil. Boil it over moderate heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4. STEP 4

   

   Turn off the stove and let the poppy seeds sit with the lid closed for another 10-15 minutes. During this time, the poppy seeds will warm up well.

5. STEP 5

   

   Place the poppy seed on cheesecloth folded in several layers to drain.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place poppy seeds and drained raisins in a suitable sized bowl.

7. STEP 7

   

   To make the filling homogeneous and more tender, chop the poppy seeds and raisins. For this purpose, you can use an immersion blender, blender bowl or mortar. Choose the option that is more convenient for you. I used an immersion blender.

8. STEP 8

   

   Add honey (or sugar) to the crushed mass and mix thoroughly. The filling will become more viscous. Use your taste when adding a sweet ingredient. If you like it sweeter, increase the amount of honey, but take into account the sweetness of the raisins. To vary the taste, you can add orange or lemon zest. It will give the filling a light citrus aroma.

9. STEP 9

   

   The poppy seed filling is ready. This amount of filling is more than enough to make a roll about 34 cm long. You can also use it for buns or pies. Delicious and successful baking!

I really love poppy seed filling, but I’ve never made it with additives. Of course, now you can buy ready-made poppy seed filling, but how nice it is to make a delicious filling yourself. I found your recipe and decided to make poppy seed filling for the roll. I boiled poppy seeds in 200 ml of water, put them on cheesecloth, and let the liquid drain completely. Since my child does not like raisins, I crushed steamed and dried light raisins in a blender. Then she added a handful of walnuts and chopped them again. Then I added boiled poppy seeds and 100 grams of sugar instead of honey, and again crushed well until sweet milk appeared, as the author writes. I tried it and I’ll be honest - it’s mega delicious!!! Yes, the poppy seed filling according to this recipe is the most delicious. With her, I prepared a yeast poppy seed roll for the whole family. Thank you! I put it in my piggy bank)
