This post is also available in german/deutsch.poppy seed babkaThis moist and fluffy poppy seed babka or poppy seed striezel is a traditional Easter pastry and everybody loves it. The yeast dough is fluffy and the poppy seed filling is super moist.

All the ingredients you use should be at room temperature, because the yeast dough doesn’t like cold ingredients at all.poppy seed babka

Roll out & cut dough

The dough is ready when it has doubled in volume. Then knead the dough again briefly on a floured surface and then let it rest for 10 minutes. Roll out into a rectangle and brush with the poppy seed filling.

Then the dough is rolled up from the long side. Cut lengthways with a sharp knife, don´t cut through at one end. Then carefully let the interfaces point upwards and twist the stands inside. Lift the end of the braid a little under the dough so that everything holds together. Place in the loaf pan, cover and let rise for 60 minutes.

Baked my first poppy seed bread today! Turned out absolutely delicious! (and yes, I am sure it is possible to twist two dough halves without getting all covered in poppy seed mix but that I will practice next time 🙂 )Thank you so much!
