Thank you for this recipe. I have made these and walnut loaves for years and have never been able to figure out why my loaves split and the filling leaks out. Any suggestions?

My German Grandmother passed this recipe down to my mother and then to me.
So happy I found a really good recipe that uses already made poppyseed filling.
The old way takes way to long.
We have in the past few years used frozen bread dough in the stores but this recipe with sweet bread is a “Must Try”!
Thank you so much Cathy for this easy recipe!

I make my own poppyseed filling, but you have to have a poppyseed grinder. Thanks for the recipe…I will definitely make this!

In reply to rjm. My mom made poppy seed coffee cake in bread pans with homemade poppy seed filling made with honey. Does any one have a homemade poppy seed filling with honey. The recipe my mom had and I found just recently is very vague but those breads were delicious. Mom has passed many years ago. please and thank you.

I’ve been looking for a recipie like this for years. My grandmother used to make both poppy seed and walnut rolls. Only difference is she always added raisins to both which always made the rolls nicely moist. I also find the canned poppyseed sweet but a squeeze of lemon juice seems to help. Great dough recipie! Correct about slicing first and freezing….I grab a slice or 2 for breakfast and pop them in a toaster on low heat…fantastic!!!

In reply to TC. Did you let them rise too long?

In reply to Barbara. Yes, it freezes well. Slice it before freezing and then you can take out slices to enjoy.

My Hungarian grandmother made this alot when I was a child, she made all poppyseed or all walnut roll, so tasty, my siblings love this as do I. Its a must try, can you freeze them as more than one roll would be too much with just the hubby and I?

Well it does not matter how I have to spell it or to pronounce it … I had that during my days in Ireland with my Polish friends and immediately fell in love with it … what a wonderful dish …
