It is advisable to add sugar or a spoonful of honey to the poppy seeds, mix everything, it will be much tastier. You can also fill the poppy with hot milk, not water, for 20-30 minutes.

If you run poppy seeds through a coffee grinder or food processor, then do not rinse. Only dry food can be placed in it. The poppy filling is also sweetened with powdered sugar and honey.

There is another way to steam poppy seeds. After rinsing, put them in a clay pot and fill with boiled water. Keep covered for forty-five minutes. Drain the liquid and chop the poppy using one of the above methods.

• Some cooks do not boil poppy seeds, they just steamed them. Others are boiled in milk for a little longer.
• To make the poppy filling tastier, walnuts, peanut butter, grated apples, dried apricots, raisins, butter, dried figs, cinnamon and other ingredients are added to the steamed seeds.
• Easy to prepare, for example, a filling with an egg: steam and then chop six tablespoons of poppy seeds with the addition of two and a half tablespoons of sugar. Pour the beaten egg into the filling and mix thoroughly.
• It is also important to purchase high-quality poppy: large, not crushed, not damaged by pests. You will not see grain defects in the packaging, so it is better to take the product by weight.

All lovers of buns and pies associate the poppy filling with the taste of childhood. The sweet taste of poppy, despite its grainy texture, melts in the mouth. Poppy seeds are widely used in the confectionery industry, although many fear and restrict the use of poppy seeds. In fact, the poppy must be properly prepared and then the filling will be healthy and tasty.

The poppy is sold ready-made. It can be used in baked goods without pretreatment. However, this rule should not always be followed. The fact is that not every producer carefully processes the grains and stores them in the right place without pests and insects. To avoid getting damaged poppies into the filling for pancakes or pies, the poppy must be thoroughly rinsed. So you can be sure that only selected grains will come across to your food.

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

How to wash poppy

Usually we are used to washing cereals, nuts, raisins in a colander, but with poppy seeds we have to be much more delicate. It is very small and rather wide cells of the metal mesh will not work here. The poppy must be washed through a cotton cloth. The gauze we are used to here, too, will not fit her 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 be useful in the future for washing small grains. For sewing, use fabric from an old pillowcase or sheet. 20 by 20 cm will be enough. Put poppy seeds in there and rinse it under warm running water. This way you will not 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 the poppy. Just fill a glass or bowl with water, add poppy seeds and chat for a minute. As a rule, damaged grains immediately float to the surface, while whole ones remain at the bottom. For a reliable result, wait 10 minutes and then drain off the remaining water. Now your poppy seed is clean and can be used for making delicious toppings for sure!

How to make poppy seeds for filling

Besides the fact that poppy seeds need to be rinsed before cooking, they also need to be steamed. The poppy that is sold in packs or by weight in pastry shops is considered raw, or rather, not ready for consumption. For the filling, the poppy must be steamed so that it at least doubles, and dry unprocessed poppy is used only for sprinkling the confectionery as a decoration.

Pour boiled hot water over a portion of the washed poppy. Leave it to swell for 10 minutes, then drain the water and leave it to swell again under new boiling water. Two hot spills will be enough, the poppy will swell and become damp. Just what you need to make the filling. If you don't want to mess with the kettle and liquid change, you can brew poppy seeds. Place the washed poppy in a saucepan, cover it with a little water, put it on fire and cook until the poppy seeds grow. The finished poppy should sort of smear or fall apart in a spoon.

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

Poppy filling for buns

For open buns, poppy-honey filling is the best fit. It keeps its shape and does not spread throughout the entire product. In addition, with this filling you can cook the most bizarre forms of buns, bows, curls, open triangles. No sugar is used for the preparation of the sweet filling. This is a big plus for those on a diet or sugar avoidance.

To make honey-poppy buns, we need:

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

The ratio of honey to poppy seeds goes 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 filling volume is enough for buns baked from 0.5 liters of milk.

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

Poppy filling for pies

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

Our list is much tastier:

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

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

Poppy filling for roll

The poppy seed filling will be much tastier if it is first steamed in milk. Prepare your ingredients.

1. Dry poppy seeds - 1 tbsp.;
2. Granulated sugar - 1 tbsp.;
3. Milk - 0.5 l.

In this recipe, you can take any milk, home or state, goat or cow, it does not matter. The whole point is milk steaming. The fact is that initially producers dry poppy seeds, so they get poppy seeds suitable for cooking. In no case should raw grains 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 poppy seed bun lovers fear so much.

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 seeds in a blender and whisk. Try to collect poppy seeds without milk, this will save the filling from excess liquid. Once you've whipped the poppy, 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 spread over the roll dough.

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

Poppy seed roll recipe step by step with photo

For home and holiday tea drinking, there is nothing tastier than homemade rolls. The poppy filling goes well with any drink, be it coffee, cocoa or milk. A neatly shaped roll is a fairly classic representation of baked goods. In our recipe, we will formulate an Easter poppy roll, decorated with curd fondant.

Ingredient List:

All products for our roll must be warm. Heat the milk, but do not boil; in boiling water, yeast will not behave as actively as in liquid at room temperature. Combine milk with dry yeast. Take an empty bowl and a colander, sprinkle the prepared flour. Next, add yeast milk, soft butter and all the other ingredients to them. The dough is kneaded until it can freely come off the 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 do 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 tackle the sweet poppy filling. Pour milk into a saucepan, add dry poppy seeds and sugar there. You need to cook the mixture for 7 minutes after boiling (slow fire). Those grains that did not have time to swell will reach readiness when baking a roll. Now the poppy needs to cool down. We need to pass the chilled poppy through an electric meat grinder (manual is no worse). The meat grinder attachment should be the smallest. You need to skip the poppy filling 2-3 times.

While the dough is still coming up, and the filling is ready, you can do the icing. She will be the decoration of our cake. Mix cottage cheese with softened butter, add sugar powder to them. Stir until creamy.

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

We put the roll in the oven. You do not need to lubricate it. We already have the curd glaze ready. Baking is prepared in a preheated oven for about half an hour at a temperature of 180 degrees. We wait until ready, take out the roll and grease the already cooled surface with white glaze.

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

While the dough is filling with splendor, you need 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 pie. The edges of the roll are trimmed and the dough is folded into a circle.

Transfer the dough to a baking sheet. We fasten the roll like a donut, cut it with scissors in steps of 1.5 cm.

Form a pie by turning 1 piece of pie in the center of the circle and leaving 2 pieces behind the circle.

Once all the pie elements are prepared, add 2 sliced ​​dough pieces on top. Turn them out like a rose and lay them on top of the base. Brush the dough with egg yolk for shine.

Poppy filling is widely used for making rolls, pies, pies, bagels, strudel as well as very common. I've already introduced it to you. Today I would like to dwell on how the poppy filling is prepared.

Poppy filling is my favorite. With her, I cook my most "trademark". Poppy filling in our stores you can buy ready-made - in cans. But, nevertheless, it cannot be compared with cooked at home. I usually use blue Czech poppy - it is usually clean, without sand. The filling is juicy and tasty. In the Czech Republic, farmers grow poppy seeds legally and exclusively for adding to confectionery and national cuisine. A mixture is made from poppy seeds with sugar, which is sprinkled with homemade noodles - a dish that is very popular in our Transcarpathia. In fact, just mashed poppy with sugar is already the simplest poppy filling.

Poppy filling for rolls, pies, strudel, rolls, bagels

Basic recipe

Poppy 400 grams

Milk 200 grams

Sugar 350-400 grams

Lemon zest from one lemon

Raisins 80-100 grams

Grind poppy seeds in a coffee grinder or pass through a special mill. Another option is to grind in a blender or other chopper. It is advisable to purchase a special kitchen "device" - nothing better than Soviet-era mills has yet been invented.

Well, makitra is also a good thing. Do you have a mock-up? That's just it!

Mix poppy seeds with sugar, pour hot milk,

cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes until thickened and a viscous filling is obtained. Remove the zest from one lemon,

rinse and put the raisins in the filling.

Stir well. In almost the same way, the filling is prepared not only from poppy seeds, but also from nuts. Use the poppy seed filling after cooling.

My remarks:

Then put the washed raisins, lemon zest, squeeze out the lemon juice. Halva crush or grate on a coarse grater. Thoroughly mix the poppy and halva mass - the filling is ready!

My remarks:

• This filling is most suitable for rolls, buns, shortcrust pastry pies.
• You can take any halva that you like best. I prefer the ordinary one, made from sunflower seeds.

Poppy and chocolate filling

Poppy 500 grams

Milk 170-200 ml

Chocolate 100 grams

Cocoa 100 grams

Sugar 100 grams

Cognac 50 ml

Cook on low heat for 7-10 minutes, make sure not to burn! Put chocolate, broken into pieces, into the cooled mixture of poppy seeds with additives, pour in cognac, stir, cool. The filling should remain viscous.

The poppy filling can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, and in the freezer for up to three months.

Today I wanted to listen to the lines, born in the corners and corners of the soul, under the noise of the January rain.
