METHOD
- Allow the yeast to rise in 60 ml (1/4 cup) cup of warm milk until doubled in size. Sift the flour into a deep bowl. Make a well in the center and place the yeast in the well. Add the remaining milk, sugar, egg yolks, lemon zest, vanilla, butter and salt. Mix together well and beat with a wooden spoon until blisters begin to form on the dough.
- Place in a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel and allow to rise in a warm place for about an hour or until doubled in volume.
- Divide the dough into two sections. Roll each section out very thinly on a floured cloth, brush with melted butter and spread with poppy seed filling (see below).
- Roll up like a jelly roll, using the edge of the cloth to assist in the rolling. Place the two rolls on a well-greased baking sheet and allow to rise in a warm, draft-free place for 30 minutes. Brush the rolls with a well beaten egg white and bake at 180° C (350° F) for about an hour until golden. Cool before slicing and serving.
Filling
- Mix the finely ground poppy seeds, lemon zest, raisins, sugar and cinnamon. Spread this mixture over the rolled out dough.
- Heat the cream. Combine the cream, honey and rum and pour this mixture over the poppy seeds.
CHEF'S NOTES
This is a traditional Croatian sweet for Christmas Eve. Makovnjaca means "rolled" in Croatian.
