Poppy seed filling is associated with all lovers of buns and pies with the taste of childhood. The sweet taste of poppy, despite its grainy texture, melts in your mouth. Poppy is quite widely used in the confectionery industry, although many people are afraid and limit the use of poppy seeds. In fact, poppy needs to be cooked correctly and then the filling will be healthy and tasty.

Poppy is sold ready-made. It can be used in baking without pre-treatment. However, this rule should not always be followed. The fact is that not every manufacturer carefully processes the grains and stores them in the right place without pests and insects. Rinse thoroughly to prevent damaged poppy seeds from getting into the filling for pancakes or pies. So you can be sure that only selected grains will come across to your food.

Poppy is very small in its structure and a special technology is needed to wash it. In addition, in order to fully use poppy seeds for filling, it is necessary to steam them and carry out a little preparation. Only an hour after opening a pack of poppy seeds and its full preparation, you can start cooking culinary masterpieces. Even after going through such a difficult cooking process, poppy seed filling remains one of the most delicious. As you know, tasty is not always fast, and poppy is also very useful.

How to wash a poppy

Usually we are used to washing cereals, nuts, raisins in a colander, but with poppy seeds you have to be much more delicate. It is very small and rather wide metal mesh cells will not work here. Poppy should be washed through a cotton cloth. The gauze we are used to here will also not work; it has rather wide longitudinal and transverse threads. It is better to use a cotton bag for these purposes.

You can sew a cotton bag yourself in just five minutes. It will come in handy in the future for washing small grains. For sewing, fabric from an old pillowcase or sheet is suitable. 20 by 20 cm will be enough. Pour the poppy into it and rinse it under a stream of warm running water. That way you won't lose a single grain. You can also use a regular piece of cotton fabric, only you need to be on the alert with it. There is a possibility that the poppy will “float away”.

There is another way, for the lazy, how to wash poppies. Just fill a glass or bowl with water, pour in poppy seeds and chat them for a minute. As a rule, damaged grains immediately float to the surface, while whole ones remain at the bottom. For reliable results, wait 10 minutes and then drain the remaining water. Now your poppy is clean and ready to be used to make delicious toppings!

How to cook poppy seeds for stuffing

In addition to the fact that the poppy needs to be washed before cooking, it also needs to be steamed. The poppy that is sold in packs or by weight in pastry shops is considered raw, more precisely, not ready for consumption. For the filling, the poppy needs to be steamed so that it has at least doubled in size, and the dry raw poppy is used only for sprinkling the confectionery as a decoration.

A portion of the washed poppy is poured with boiled hot water. Leave it for 10 minutes to swell, then drain the water and leave it to swell again under new boiling water. Two hot pours will be enough, the poppy will swell and become wet. Just what you need to prepare the filling. If you don't want to mess around with the kettle and changing the liquid, you can brew poppy seeds. Place the washed poppy seeds in a saucepan, fill it with a small amount of water, put on fire and cook until the poppy seeds increase. Ready poppy should be smeared or falling apart in a spoon.

If poppy is prepared for a sweet filling, and not just for adding to the dough, then during the cooking process, honey or sugar can be added to the water at your discretion. You can also sweeten poppy seeds after boiling. Drain the water, pour the poppy seeds with sugar into a blender and grind the grains. If you do not have a blender, then this can be done in a simple meat grinder, mortar or sieve.

Poppy seed filling for buns

Poppy-honey filling is the best for open buns. It keeps its shape and does not spread throughout the product. In addition, with this filling you can cook the most bizarre shapes of buns, bows, curls, open triangles. No sugar is used to prepare the sweet filling. This is a big plus for those who are on a diet or abstain from sugar.

To prepare honey-poppy buns, we need:

• steamed poppy - 8 tablespoons;
• liquid honey - 4 tablespoons.

The ratio of honey to poppy is in the recipe 1 to 2 (1:2). The volume can be reduced or increased depending on the amount of dough that is being prepared for lubrication. This volume of filling is enough for buns baked from 0.5 liters of milk.

So, already steamed poppy should be put in a metal pan and pour liquid honey. The container is placed on a slow fire, gradually mixed. The preparation time for the honey-poppy filling is approximately 10 minutes. As a result, the filling is almost ready, in order to use it, you need to wait until it cools down. Then it will become viscous and sticky, able to connect the dough.

Poppy seed filling for pies

You can prepare a delicious filling for pies with a whole list of ingredients, one of which will be an alluring poppy. It is ideal in almost any combination: with apples, dried apricots, raisins, various nuts, candied fruits.

Our list is much better:

• a glass of milk;
• a glass of steamed poppy;
• 50 g red raisins;
• 1 PC. yellow or red apple;
• 100 g walnuts;
• a glass of flour;
• 1 lemon - only the zest is needed (yellow grated peel)
• 3 art. l. butter;
• 3 art. l. melted honey;
• cinnamon to taste;
• 50 g sugar.

Place the nuts in a blender, grind almost to crumbs. Set the apple aside, take a saucepan, put the nuts and the rest of the ingredients there. Put it on fire and bring to a boil. Once the mixture begins to boil, turn off the pot and let the mixture cool. Add the grated apple to the cooled mixture. The filling is ready!

Poppy filling for roll

Poppy filling will be much tastier if it is first steamed in milk. Prepare the ingredients.

1. Dry poppy - 1 tbsp.;
2. Sugar - 1 tbsp.;
3. Milk - 0.5 l.

In this recipe, you can take any milk, home or state, goat or cow, it doesn’t matter. The whole point lies in milk steaming. The fact is that initially the producers dry the poppy, so they get a poppy suitable for cooking. Raw grains should never be used, as it is an opium drug and even in small quantities it can be addictive and cause exorbitant harm to health. This is what many lovers of poppy seed buns are so afraid of.

You need to steam poppy seeds in milk in a metal saucepan. Boil it for 5 minutes after boiling and you will see how an oily film forms on the surface of the milk. It needs to be removed, because. we will not need it, the taste of this oil is bitter due to long-term storage and previous drying. Select the remaining poppy mass in a blender and beat it. Try to collect poppy seeds without milk, this will save the filling from excess liquid. Once you've beaten the poppy seeds, add sugar to it. Do not mix all the ingredients at once, do as in the recipe, otherwise the filling will flow due to the early added sugar. Now the resulting filling can be smeared over the roll dough.

When cooking poppy, always consider what kind of filling will be, if it is a filling for pancakes, then the poppy should be cooked until fully cooked. If you use poppy seed filling for pies or baking rolls, then it can be cooked until half cooked. It will reach full readiness in the oven while baking the dough.

Poppy seed roll recipe step by step with photo

For home and festive tea drinking, there is nothing tastier than self-made rolls. Poppy filling goes perfectly with any drink, be it coffee, cocoa or milk. A neatly shaped roll is a pretty classic representation of a pastry. In our recipe, we will form an Easter poppy seed roll decorated with cottage cheese fudge.

List of ingredients:

All products for our roll must be warm. Warm the milk, but do not boil it; the yeast will not behave as actively in boiling water as in a liquid at room temperature. Combine milk with dry yeast. Take an empty bowl and colander, sprinkle the prepared flour. Next, add yeast milk, soft butter and all other ingredients to them. The dough is kneaded until it can easily come off your hands.

Leave the dough under a towel in a warm place. It should become lush and increase in volume. If the temperature in the room is about 20 degrees, then the dough will fit in 1.5 hours, if the temperature is above 1 hour, it should be enough. It all depends on the quality of the yeast.

Now that the dough is ready, you need to work on the sweet poppy seed filling. Pour milk into a saucepan, add dry poppy seeds and sugar. Boil the mixture for 7 minutes after boiling (slow fire). Those grains that did not have time to swell will reach readiness when baking the roll. Now the poppy needs to cool down. We need to pass the cooled poppy seeds through an electric meat grinder (manual is no worse). The nozzle of the meat grinder should be the smallest. You need to skip the poppy filling 2-3 times.

While the dough is still rising, and the filling is ready, you can do the icing. She will decorate our cake. Mix cottage cheese with softened butter, add powdered sugar to them. Knead until creamy.

The dough has come up and it's time to roll it out on the table. You should get a layer measuring 30 * 40 cm. Put it on top and spread the poppy seed filling. From the edge, start twisting the roll and lay it out in a ring. Transfer the roll to a baking sheet and cut it as shown in the photo.

Place the roll in the oven. It doesn't need to be lubricated. We already have curd icing ready. Baking is prepared in a preheated oven for about half an hour at a temperature of 180 degrees. We wait for readiness, take out the roll and grease the already cooled surface with white icing.

You can additionally decorate the roll with confectionery beads, confetti, cocoa, grated chocolate or fruit.

While the dough is filling with splendor, it is necessary to prepare the filling. A glass of poppy seeds is poured into boiling water, boiled for 7-8 minutes, then cooled. Sugar is poured into the softened grains and simply mixed.

Next, the dough is rolled out on the table, the filling is laid out on top. The layer must be rolled up like a roll. You can also bake a roll from it, but we will have a beautiful openwork cake. The edges of the roll are cut off and the dough is folded into a circle.

The dough must be transferred to a baking sheet. We fasten the roll like a bagel, cut it with scissors in 1.5 cm increments.

We form the pie, turning 1 piece of the pie into the center of the circle and leaving 2 pieces behind the circle.

Once all the elements of the pie are prepared, add 2 cut pieces of dough on top. Turn them inside out like a rose and lay them on top of the base. To shine, brush the dough with egg yolk.
