Here is the Christmas present I made for myself… or what’s left of it anyway. You don’t have to be Polish to love a slice (or 2 or 3) of makowiec (mah-KOH-viets). It’s usually a bread to be shared but this one is all for me! I made it without the powdered sugar glaze and opted for an egg wash and poppy seeds on the top.
The filling is made with ground poppy seeds, fresh orange and lemon peel, ground almonds and vanilla. It’s a Polish holiday bread for Christmas as well as Easter but I say make it for any holiday, or birthday, or laundry day, or tax day…. Click here for the recipe.
And Merry Christmas to all my fellow cooks and bakers. Thank you for all your comments and photos – I appreciate it so much when anyone takes the time to make a comment or send a photo. I have posted most of the recipes I make but I will try to add more as they make it into my kitchen. xoxoxo
I bake four poppyseed rolls every Easter. Rarely do I bake a poppyseed roll that does not ooze from the bottom seam. I use Solo canned poppyseed fillind and add 1 teaspoon of vanilla & 1/2 teas of cardamon to the filling. I also add 1/2 teas cardamon to the dough recipe. I got the cardamon idea from an old polish cookbook. Delicious!
Happy holidays Jenny to you and yours.

Thank you for the recipes and smiles you have given. You make me take life a little easier with your suggestions for food and I cannot say thank you enough for your quirky sense of the ridiculous.
It’s like having a comfortable place to retreat to while I enjoy your videos and read your work.
Keep buying spatulas and heating things up in the kitchen.
