Step-by-step recipe with photos

Another recipe found on one of the culinary websites that has become firmly entrenched in our menu.

Naturally, you can’t call it a quick recipe. Although in fact it takes very little time to make it! You just have to wait until the dough hardens in the freezer so that it can be grated.

The inside is ready-made poppy mass. It is already sweet, so you don’t need to add sugar to it, which is very convenient. If you haven’t found a ready-made poppy seed filling, make it yourself from ordinary poppy seeds according to the recipe that suits you.

Shortbread pie with poppy seeds turns out to be very tasty, thanks to the insides - juicy and satisfying. For me, it goes perfectly with a cup of coffee.

I also really liked that the eggs are used without leftovers, i.e. neither whites nor yolks remain. The yolks go into the dough, and the whites into the poppy mixture.

For production, we will prepare products according to the list.

Grind soft butter with sugar and salt.

Add yolks. Set aside the whites, they will be useful for the inside.

Add flour mixed with baking powder.

Knead soft dough.

Divide it into two equal parts and refrigerate for 30-40 minutes.

In the meantime, prepare the filling.

Mix all ingredients and beat with a mixer.

Remove the dough from the refrigerator.

Grate one part and press lightly. Place poppy seed filling on top. Grate the second part of the dough onto the filling.

Mold size – 20x20 cm.

Bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 30-40 minutes.

Find your way around your own oven!

Shortbread pie with poppy seeds is ready.

Remove from the mold and cool completely on a wire rack.

Poppy pie on shortcrust pastry

All. Returned to work. And here is my first post-holiday recipe for you - a delicious poppy seed pie.

It is trivial to prepare if you have the opportunity to purchase ready-made poppy seed mass - in our country, for example, it is sold in virtually all large supermarkets. If you don’t have this ability, take a poppy seed and make the mass yourself. How - I said in the recipe for Polish poppy seed roll (the amount of ingredients, obviously, needs to be increased proportionally).

The pie is really quite tasty. Keeps in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Ingredients for a 24*24 cm pan:

Dough

Interior

Making recipe:

Beat butter with sugar and salt until creamy.

Add the yolks and beat again. Add flour sifted with baking powder and knead soft dough.

Divide the dough into 2 parts, form a disk from each and put it in the freezer for 20-30 minutes - the dough must reach such a mixture so that it can be grated.

Cover the baking pan with parchment.

Place half of the dough on the bottom of the mold.

Add egg whites, crackers and sugar to the poppy seed mixture and beat with a mixer until smooth.

Place in the pan on top of the dough.

Top with the second half of the dough.

Place in an oven preheated to 180 degrees and bake until done and golden brown, about 40 minutes.

Remove from the oven and cool directly in the pan. Then remove from the mold and cut.

Enjoy your tea!

Why grate the bottom layer of dough? What does this do? We bake a similar pie, but grate only the top layer.

You can also roll it out. But if you rub. then it is more convenient to distribute the dough.

Everything is simpler. You can take 1 or 1.5 cups of poppy seeds. Pour boiling water over. Since morning. In the evening, beat with a blender, adding 1 tablespoon. a spoonful of starch and sugar to taste and one egg. This is poppy inside. It may be quite watery, but it will set later. After 15 minutes, sprinkle with strudel. There is no need to take products with preservatives and large amounts of sugar. And everything is great! A very tasty poppy seed cake.

Also an option
True, in Belarus it is easier to find and purchase ready-made filling than dry poppy seeds - we have a problem with this, I constantly bring it from Ukraine for myself.

Provided poppy seed cake with shortcrust pastry (Makowiec na kruchym cieście)

This rich poppy seed cake was a real gift for my husband, who has loved poppy seed pastries since his youth, and judging by the different cuisines of the world, in Poland it is probably the best in the world. This pie is my own, inspired by Polish poppy seed pies on shortcrust pastry. And there are so many of them. But this one immediately became our family winner. A crispy base of shortcrust pastry and a very fragrant, juicy poppy seed interior with apples, dried fruits, candied fruits and nuts. It's hard to slow down on one piece. Fortunately, this poppy seed pie is large and will be enough for everyone, so it is perfect for family holidays when the whole family and not only gathers around the table.

So, trying to balance between Ukrainian and Polish traditions and culture, equally respecting both of them, to the satisfaction of my husband and children, I learned to cook a lot of Polish dishes and baked goods. Here, in Podolia, where I grew up, there were no special Christmas or just festive baked goods. Every time my mother made some new dessert (in our family, not only I don’t like Napoleon, that’s why we didn’t have it :-)), and the grandmothers had kutia for Christmas, our Podolsk kutia . And this was already dessert. This is what post-Soviet, Ukrainian childhood is like. And when I joined a Polish family, it was a sincere surprise for me that in Poland, for any holiday, there is a whole list of various celebratory baked goods that must be there. Now I understand that it was once like this in Ukraine, too, only the crushing power of the Russian Union, communist ideology and propaganda whitening the complete lack, did their job. In Poland, communism was not so cruel, they were relatively independent, had their own government and no one destroyed their Polish national dignity (in our country, unfortunately, most of them still need to be cured and cured). Therefore, the gastronomic traditions of Poland have remained very strong, almost unshakable. So, returning to the Christmas holidays, poppy seed pastries, in their various forms, are more traditional there at Christmas, along with the famous pernik . I won’t even say which of these 2 types of baked goods I love more. Most Poles don’t even bother themselves with this question and have both, and often even more. And it’s somehow hard for me to even imagine our Polish Christmas without some kind of makovets (that’s what this pastry is called in Polish). And to make it more fun and exciting, every year I bake some new poppy seed pastries. Last year there was this pie. And for this year I have planned two more baked goods :-).

In terms of technology, there are few manufacturing aspects. The dough is pleasant to work with, although not completely light, like any shortbread dough. There is no need to bake it in advance, the inside is quite dry, so there is no need for this.

If you want to add plenty to your baked goods, instead of orange zest, you can add almond extract or essence to the insides. You can take various dried fruits. It will be interesting with dried cherries and cranberries. You can experiment with nuts. I just wouldn’t reduce the amount of sugar, because it’s both moisture and stabilization of the baked goods. And believe me, this amount of poppy seeds is not enough. Since someone cannot sleep quietly without reducing the amount of sugar in something, as is the case at the moment, then remove those 50 grams from the inside, but not more. It will still be somehow acceptable.

Pie 18x30 or 24 cm in diameter (highest forms)

Ingredients

300 g flour
50 g starch
50 g sweet powder
200 g butter, cool, cut into cubes
2 yolks
1 tsp sour cream

For the inside:

500 g poppy seeds
1 liter of milk
300 g apples, peeled, grated on a grater with large holes (weight before peeling)
200 g butter, room temperature
200 g sugar
4 eggs, yolks separated from whites
Zest of 1 orange, finely grated
40 g semolina
20 g starch
100 g walnuts
50 g candied fruits
100 g raisins
50 ml rum
1 tsp almond extract or a few drops of almond essence

Sweet powder for sprinkling

1) Place all dry ingredients for the dough and butter in a blender bowl, grind everything together and add sour cream and yolks. Beat the dough until huge breasts form. If you don't have a blender, place all the dry ingredients in a deep bowl, mix, add oil, and grind the oil with the dry ingredients. Add sour cream and yolks and rub them into the dough until breasts form.

2) Beat the dough into a ball, knead the dough well, wrap in cling film and refrigerate for 1 hour.

3) Place the raisins in a small bowl, pour boiling water over them, strain, pour in rum and leave to swell.

4) Place poppy seeds in a large saucepan, add milk and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and leave until cool completely.

5) After the poppy seeds have cooled, take the dough out onto the kitchen surface to warm up a little, and transfer the poppy seeds to a fine sieve and place in a blender bowl along with half the sugar. Grind the poppy seeds well until white. (If you don’t have a blender, grind the poppy seeds in a meat grinder).

6) In a deep bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter and the rest of the sugar until white.

7) Continuing to beat, add the yolks one at a time.

Add mashed poppy seeds, zest, semolina and starch and mix everything together well.

9) Separately beat the whites until stiff peaks form.

10) Add apples, nuts, raisins along with rum, candied fruits and almond extract to the poppy seeds. Mix everything well with a spatula.

11) Carefully fold in the whipped whites. At first, actively stirring 1/3, and later the others, carefully wrapping the whites into the mass.

12) Preheat the oven to 180°C in the “top-bottom” mode. Unroll the pie dough, flour your work surface and roll out the dough not very thin.

13) The bottom of a springform pan is 18x30 cm or 24-26 cm in diameter, cover with parchment and line the pan with dough. Trim excess dough.

14) Fill the prepared form with dough with the insides, smooth out the filling, and pinch the edges perfectly.

15) Cut stars of different sizes from the remaining dough and place on top of the pie.

16) Place the pie in the oven and after 20 minutes of baking, reduce the temperature to 160 ᵒC and bake for about another hour. The surface of the pie should be browned and the inside should rise slightly (it will level out as it cools). Remove the pie from the oven and leave it in the pan for 15 minutes to let the heat subside.

17) Next, carefully remove the sides of the pan and leave the cake until it cools completely. When the poppy seed cake has cooled, sprinkle the surface generously with sweet powder and carefully transfer to a serving plate.

Poppy pie . Poppy seed pie is a unique pastry made from its own insides. Poppy inside is a special creation of the hostess. Baking with poppy seeds is always fragrant and has a pleasant, captivating taste.

A wide variety of doughs for baking with poppy seed or poppy seeds will work. Its choice depends on the culinary recipe and its proposal. It could be puff pastry, puff-yeast dough, batter, yeast-butter, shortbread.

Among the pies with poppy seeds, you can find huge pies, rolls made from yeast dough, puddings, manna cakes, and products made from curd dough.

It is very important to prepare poppy seeds for the inside. If the culinary recipe does not give other advice in this regard, then poppy seeds should be prepared for baking in the following way.

If for ordinary buns no special manipulations with poppy seeds are required, because it will perfectly reach readiness when baking products in the oven, then to make rolls with poppy seed entrails and pies, the poppy seeds should first be poured with boiling water. Next, you should drain this water from it. At this point, the oil of poppy seeds, which goes rancid during storage (this may later affect the taste of the inside), will rise to the surface of the grains and can simply be drained from them.

Then the poppy seeds are again poured with hot water and heated over the fire for 5 minutes, stirring.

Then the poppy seeds are whipped with a blender. A very important point! So that the inside is not watery and is airy, sugar or sweet powder should be added to the blender when the poppy seeds are already whipped. If you beat sugar and poppy seeds together in a blender bowl, the inside will be very watery.

You can add various additional ingredients to the poppy insides to vary its taste, for example, pieces of dried fruit, raisins, nuts and other ingredients.
