Baba Bednar Poppy Seed Roll

Bednar Family Recipe

Poppy Seed - Nut Rolls  (enough for ten small rolls)

{Recipe just as Baba dictated to David who typed it for me 35 years ago}

Ingrediants:

 

8 Cups Bread Flour

1.25 Cups Sugar

½ pound margarine

¾ Tablespoon Salt

*mix the above as pie dough

¾ Cup milk, warm

1/3 cup sugar

2 ounce yeast

½ tsp yellow food coloring

*mix this together and mix with the flour mixture and let it rise until it doubles in bulk

Add to this mixture: 4 eggs and one can of evaporated milk

*mix it all for 5 minutes or more

Cover with a dry clean towel and let it rise until it doubles in bulk

Punch it down and let it rise again.

Divide it into ten pieces.

Roll the dough until it reaches desired thickness of 1/8 to ¼ inch.

Put it on a greased cookie sheet. Let it rise until it doubles in bulk.

Bake in 350 degree oven for 30 minutes

Filling:

One pound of poppy seed for five rolls

One pound of walnuts for five rolls

¼ lb of margarine in each (nuts and poppy seed) with 1 ½ cups of sugar in each mixture

[Anotherwords – sugar, margarine (melted) and either nuts or poppy seed is all you have to do to make the mixture inside the roll. I would half the bread recipe and make five rolls and see how it goes.]
