Poppy seed rolls are a tradition passed down from my Czech grandmother. They also are a tradition of the Michalek family’s Polish heritage. We often have them at our Easter and Christmas meals. Here is my quick and easy version!
The original recipe from my grandmother can be found here https://michalekkitchen.blogspot.com/2023/09/poppyseed-rolls.html
Use premade dough in a tube (Pillsbury sheets) and cut dough into 1 inch wide strips. Cross them over each other in a mini cupcake pan. Fill each with a dab of butter, and a sprinkling of brown sugar and cinnamon. Add about a 1/2 Tbsp of premade (in a can) Poppy Seed mixture. Then fold over dough to seal each up.
Bake in the oven as directed on the dough package. (350* 12 min?) Watch so they don’t burn, just get golden. Remove to cool.
Best served with a sugar glaze. I mix powdered sugar, milk and vanilla to taste and texture preference.
See, very simple compared to the original recipe of dough rising, lots of poppy seed goop and skilled wrapping. This is something the kids can make, and I must say… it tasted aaaalmost as good as grandma’s!
