Addictive... maybe because of the opium? ;) Can change the filling with cherry preserves or a nut filling.

MARTIN'S POLISH POPPY SEED STRUDEL



Martin's Polish Poppy Seed Strudel image

This is my son, Jon's favortie. He requests this instead of a Birthday cake. Our neighbor, from my mountain, Martin made this one year for Jon. Martin came from Poland & he served in the German army. As he said, he didn't have much choice as the Germans would have shot him and his whole family. I have made this with walnut...

Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 can(s) poppy seed filling (or you can make your own)
1 1/4 c warm milk (120*)
6 Tbsp rounded sugar
6 c or more flour
a pinch of salt
3 hand full of sugar
1 c very cold raw sweet organic or sweet european butter (please) (2 sticks =1 cup)
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
2 egg yolks, beaten
1 pkg cake or dry yeast
1 cube of sweet butter, melted
1 c golden raisins, optional-i use the raisins with the walnut filling

Steps:

  • 1. Always do a yeast test first to make sure yout yeast isn't too old or inactivate with any kind of product where you are using yeast.
  • 2. Sprinkle the yeast in 1/4 cup of warm milk and 1 rounded tablespoon of sugar. When it has foamed, add to the rest of the warm milk.
  • 3. In a large bowl, cut 2 sticks of cold butter into the flour till it looks like cat litter. Add the 5 rounded tablespoons of sugar, salt, lemon juice, and eggs together, mix to blend. Add the flour a little at a time and beat the dough with your hands. Your dough should feel like your stomach. (And no I don't mean you guys with the 6 pack stomach, the feeling should be like a beer belly stomach.)
  • 4. Divide into 3 balls, and place in a warm place covered with a flour sack towel to rise double, about 1 hour.
  • 5. Roll out 1 of the dough balls to 1/8" thickness on floured surface into a retangular shape. Spread a little grape jam or jelly over the dough leaving 1" on all sides. It doesn't matter what flavor jam or jelly, but Martin used grape. Personally, I like the Rose Jelly I get at the store. Take 1 can of poppy seed filling and spread that over the dough and jelly, then sprinkle a hand full of sugar on top. Roll the dough up and pinch the outside ends together and under. Do the same with all the rest of the doughs.
  • 6. Carefully lift onto a buttered cookie sheet, prick with a fork all over and brush well the tops and sides with the 1 cube of unsalted melted butter. Bake at 250* to 300* until golden brown, then at 200* for 20 mintues more. Watch so it doesn't burn. Brush more butter on as it is baking.
  • 7. For those who don't know...Sweet butter is unsalted butter
