Decadent Croatian sweet bread roll with poppy seed-raisin and walnut-raisin fillings.
Ingredients:
  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet instant yeast
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 lemon, zested
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup plus 1.5 tablespoons milk, warm but not hot
Instructions:
  • Microwave flour in a bowl for 30 seconds. Mix in dry yeast, sugar, egg yolks, salt, lemon zest, melted butter, and warm milk until dough forms. Knead on a floured surface until smooth and shiny for 10 minutes or use an electric mixer for 5 minutes.
  • Shape the dough into a ball and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in volume, approximately 1 hour.
  • Prepare the walnut filling by mixing walnuts, 1/2 cup sugar, 2/3 cup raisins, rum, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of cinnamon. Stir in the boiling milk until well combined.
  • To prepare the poppy seed filling, heat poppy seeds and milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until the milk is steaming, roughly 5 minutes. Stir in 1/3 cup sugar, 1/3 cup raisins, lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, and cinnamon. Mix well. Allow both fillings to cool to room temperature for about 20 minutes.
  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and prepare a large baking sheet by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
  • Roll out the dough into a 3/8-inch thick rectangle. Brush the rectangle with luxurious melted butter. Spread decadent walnut filling on one half of the dough, and luscious poppy seed filling on the other half.
  • Roll each half of dough towards the center, firmly press the two halves together, then place the roll onto the baking sheet. Allow to rest for 10 minutes before baking.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown on top and bottom, with hot fillings, for approximately 50 minutes. Allow to cool completely for about 1 hour before slicing.
