Aniu,
This recipe looks outstanding! I just watched the Youtube video though and am a bit confused. You mention in your video to use two egg yolks plus one whole egg. The written recipe here though calls for 3 egg yolks plus one whole egg. Which is the correct one? The video or this written recipe? I was ABOUT to make this recipe, and now I am afraid to mess it up…Thanks for your input!
sorry about that, you need 3 eggs! 2 egg yolks plus 1 full egg to the dough and two egg whites for the filling!
Good luck, and let me know how did you like it!
Ania
one more egg for egg wash!, i fixed the recipe here, should be clear now i hope 🙂
Serdecznie dziekuje!!!! Off I go to make delicious makowce! Happy Holidays to you and your family!
thank you and the same to you!
Ania, thanks for the recipe, but I can’t see how the two egg whites that we set aside for the poppy filling are being used.. sorry if i’ve just missed that!
Well, I’ve missed the thing about the egg whites (my fault) and I’ ve ommitted them in my filling, but the rolls came out very delicious! I added some sugar (for me the filling was not sweet enough) and 1 green apple (grated) to my filling, as well as some spices, lemon zest and a bit of almond liquor. The rolls tend to burn easily – mine were brown after 10 min in the oven, so keep an eye on them! going to make them again, next time including thу egg whites 🙂 THANK YOU, ANYA!
Great, I was just about to reply to your question! It came out ok because you added all the other stuff if you stayed with the recipe and skipped the egg whites the stuffing would be a bit hard.
I am happy you liked how it came out!
Happy baking,
Ania
Hi Ania,
Did you make the poppy seed filling from scratch or did you purchase it already made?
I can’t find the filling at the supermarket.
Do you have the recipe to make the filling?
Thank you
I did it from scratch, I have a problem finding it ready as well. The recipe is here: https://youtu.be/NbLoKwEluAk

love this recipe. I made it 2 years ago and it tastes just like the makowiec I had in Poland. Im making it again tonight to share with my coworkers after they mentioned they’ve never tried it. I use no substitutions other than i buy the poppy seed filling from starsky’s.
I just came across your recipes , and am so glad I did. I made this today and it is over the top delicious for me. It took the loaves 1-1/2 hours to raise so I was a little worried, but I need not have been. This is utterly fabulous, and I can’t wait to try your other bread recipes. Thanks so much .
