My grandmother always made Nut and Poppyseed Roll, a Hungarian family favorite, as a treat for Christmas. It tastes extra delicious with a cup of coffee on Christmas morning as you sit by the Christmas tree. —Carrie J. Gamble, Doylestown, Pennsylvania

Nut and Poppy Seed Rolls Recipe

Prep: 40 min. + chilling Bake: 35 min. + cooling

Yield: 28 Servings

40 35 75

Ingredients

2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
1 cup warm 2% milk (110° to 115°)
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
6 cups all-purpose flour
NUT FILLING:
1 cup ground pecans
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup chopped dates
1/2 cup 2% milk
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg white
POPPY SEED FILLING:
1 can (12-1/2 ounces) poppy seed cake and pastry filling
1/4 cup chopped raisins
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
ICING:
2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 to 3 tablespoons water

Directions

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the milk, sour cream, sugar, butter, eggs, salt and 3 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Beat in remaining flour until mixture forms a soft dough. Transfer to a greased bowl, turning once the grease the top; cover and refrigerate overnight.
Divide dough in half. Roll each portion into a 14-in. x 12-in. rectangle. For nut filling, in a small bowl, combine the pecans, sugar, dates, milk and salt. In another bowl, beat egg white until stiff peaks form; fold into pecan mixture. Spread over one portion. Spread poppyseed filling over remaining dough; sprinkle with raisins and walnuts. Roll up each jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seams to seal and tuck ends under. Place seam side down on parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.
Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack. Combine confectioners' sugar and enough water to achieve desired consistency; drizzle over breads. Yield: 2 loaves (14 slices each).

Editor's Note: This recipe was tested with Solo brand cake and pastry filling. Look for it in the baking aisle.

Made two rolls out of it. was a lot of Dough could have made 3 regular sized rolls. Very good taste, everyone in the family enjoyed.

Reviewed on Nov. 17, 2010 by istylit71

The dough was easy to put together and roll out, but it was downhill from there. I'm not sure if I didn't knead long enough or what, but the dough seemed to lack structure and fell apart after it was baked, making a mess when trying to move them to a cooling rack. Most of the filling also leaked out during baking. Such a shame, because the end result is tasty, but it's such a mess I wouldn't think of serving them looking this way. I'll try once more, but then look for a different recipe somewhere else. Can anyone help?
