I would like to offer you a worthy option to supplement Easter cakes for a festive feast. It will be a soft and fragrant, airy Easter braid with poppy seeds. The process of forming such a braid is quite simple; any housewife can handle it. And kneading butter dough can be simplified by kitchen appliances, and you won’t get tired at all in preparing for the Easter holidays.

Ingredients

  • pressed yeast 25 g;
  • sugar 120 g;
  • salt 0.5 tsp;
  • milk 220 ml;
  • chicken eggs 3 + 1 pc. (for lubricating the braid);
  • wheat flour 500-550 g;
  • butter 70 g;
  • vegetable oil 50 ml;
  • orange zest 1-2 tsp;
  • orange juice (from half an orange);
  • cognac 25 ml;
  • poppy mixture 150 g;
  • walnuts at will;
  • powdered sugar 2 tbsp. l.

Preparation time: 2 hours. Cooking time: 1.5 hours.


Preparation

For the butter dough you will need fresh pressed yeast (25 g).


Heat the milk slightly (up to 30 degrees). Now remove the milk from the stove and add yeast to it. To activate the yeast faster, add a tablespoon of sugar and half a glass of flour to the milk, mix thoroughly with a whisk. Cover the mixture with a towel and set aside (for 15 minutes).


In the meantime, proceed with other test preparation processes. Place three egg yolks in a deep bowl, add sugar to them. It is better not to use egg whites in dough for pies or Easter cakes, because they make its structure heavier.


Whisk the yolks with sugar until completely dissolved.


Grate the zest from one orange and add to the yolks. Squeeze the juice from half an orange and add it to the mixture, stir.


Place the sifted flour and a pinch of salt into a clean and deep container.


By this time the dough had already steeped well and had risen like a lush cap.


Make a well in the flour and pour the yolk mixture and dough into it. Start kneading the butter dough by hand or in a food processor.


To spice up the finished baked goods, you can add a little cognac to the dough.


Within 10 minutes Knead the dough so that it does not stick and acquires a homogeneous consistency.


Add soft butter to the dough.


After all the oil has been well mixed into the dough, it can be sent for proofing. To do this, use a deep container, lubricated vegetable oil. Cover the top of the container with film and place it in a draft-free place in your kitchen for one hour.


While the dough is rising, prepare poppy seed filling for braiding. Today I have poppy seed filling from a bag. He represents ground poppy seeds with added sugar and starch. You just need to empty the contents of the bag and pour boiling water over it. If you have regular poppy seeds, then boil the poppy seeds (50-70 g) for a few minutes, and then grind them in a mortar. Then transfer the strained poppy seeds into a bowl and add sugar and walnuts to taste.


The dough stood and increased several times.


Sprinkle the table with a little flour and place the dough on it, roll out into a rectangular layer.


Using a sharp knife, make slanting marks along the edges of the dough.


Place the poppy seed filling in the center of the dough layer.


Form into a braid by overlapping strips of dough.


Very carefully place the braid onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. To proof, cover the braid with film and let it rest for 20-30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 190 degrees. Lubricate the braid with a mixture of yolk and milk and place it in a hot oven.


Bake the braid for 10 minutes, and then reduce the temperature to 170 degrees and cook for another 30 minutes. If the top starts to burn, cover it with foil. Remove the golden-brown baked goods from the oven and immediately cover with a slightly moistened towel. After 10 minutes, your braid will become very soft, the rough crust will disappear.


Decorate the cooled Easter braid with powdered sugar and colorful sprinkles. Covered, these baked goods can be stored for 3-4 days and will not go stale.

I love baked goods with poppy seeds and fragrant buns! In this wonderful braided bag with poppy seeds, raisins and nuts from... yeast dough Both are combined :)



Try it, you and your children will really like this pastry. The braid is both fun to make and enjoyable to eat!


Ingredients:

For the test:

  • 22 g fresh yeast (or 7 g dry = 2.5 teaspoons);
  • 2 tablespoons sugar;
  • 150 ml milk;
  • 40 g butter;
  • 2 yolks;
  • Zest of 1 orange;
  • ¼ teaspoon salt;
  • A bag of vanilla sugar or vanilla on the tip of a teaspoon;
  • 300 g flour.

For the filling:

  • 500 g poppy seed filling;
  • 50 g raisins;
  • 50 g peeled walnuts;
  • 2 squirrels;
  • 2-3 tablespoons of honey.

How to bake:

I use fresh yeast for the dough, which I advise you to do, because it has a higher lifting force, dough with fresh yeast is better suited, baking is always successful and turns out more fluffy. Crumble the yeast into a bowl and grind with sugar. When the yeast has melted and acquired a liquid consistency, pour in milk heated to 36C (pleasantly warm). Stir and sift a little flour - about 1 cup, so that after mixing the dough becomes thin, like sour cream. Cover the dough with a towel and place in a warm place for 15-20 minutes.


While the dough is rising, prepare the other ingredients. Wash the orange thoroughly with a brush hot water and grate the zest from it.
Wash the raisins and add warm boiled water.
Melt the butter and let it cool a little.
Separate the yolks from the whites.
Chop the peeled nuts.

Now the dough is filled with bubbles - the yeast has activated. Add some of the sifted flour, yolks, salt, orange zest and melted butter (not hot, but warm).


Stir and continue kneading the dough, gradually adding flour until you get a soft dough that does not stick to your hands. Cover the bowl with the dough with a towel and leave it warm for 1-1.5 hours.


Making the poppy seed filling. You can buy ready-made or cook it yourself using this recipe: recepty-nachinok-dlya-pirogov/makovaya-nachinka-recept.html. To the steamed and strained poppy seeds or the finished filling, add raisins squeezed out of water, chopped nuts, honey and egg whites. The whites will bind the filling and prevent the poppy seeds from falling apart. Leave a tablespoon of protein for greasing. Mix well.


When the dough has risen and doubled in size, roll it out on a table lightly sprinkled with flour into a rectangle 3-4 mm thick. Evenly distribute the poppy seed filling over the dough, leaving 2-3 cm free around the edges.


We roll the layer with the filling into a roll, carefully pinch the edge and turn it over with the seam down. Stepping back 3-4 cm from the top, cut the roll in half lengthwise.


And we intertwine the two ends with a tourniquet.

Place the braid on a baking sheet lined with an oiled sheet of parchment. Using a pastry brush, brush the top of the dough with egg white. Leave to proof for 20 minutes. Preheat the oven to 180C.

Place the wicker with poppy seeds in the preheated oven on the middle shelf. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the skewer is dry and golden brown.


When the poppy wicker has cooled a little, you can help yourself.


It is convenient to break off the warm braid with your hands, and when it cools down, you can cut it into neat slices, spread it with butter and with a cup of cocoa... yum-yum! 🙂

Process description

You need to start the process by getting the filling. To do this, pour the poppy seeds into a deep bowl, pour boiling water over them and leave for a couple of hours. The steamed mass is filtered, washed, placed in a colander and ground together with sugar until a homogeneous paste is obtained.

Dissolve the required amount of sugar, salt and vanillin in a bowl of warm water. Vegetable oil is also added there. Whisk everything lightly and then pour into a container filled with oxygenated flour, chopped lemon zest and dry yeast. Knead everything thoroughly with your hands and leave it warm for a while. The dough, which has increased in volume, is kneaded without adding flour and again set aside. As soon as it rises again, it is divided into four equal pieces. Each part is rolled out into a rectangular layer, greased with filling and rolled into a roll. Then they take the two resulting strands, fasten them together and braid them. Do the same with the remaining rolls.

Raw braids are placed in a mold and left to proof. Then they are lightly greased with vegetable oil and placed in a warm oven. Bake the products at 180 degrees until golden brown. The readiness of the braids is checked using an ordinary toothpick. If it remains completely dry, then the baked goods can be served. If traces of dough are clearly visible on the toothpick, then the products are briefly returned to the oven.

Gorgeous fluffy, airy braid from my childhood. My husband often idealizes those times, and I think that in childhood the trees were bigger, the sky was higher, and my pants were full of happiness... But, well, they knew how to bake bread back then!

Delight your family with a fresh, hot and airy braid with poppy seeds! Pletenka is a delicious white bread made from yeast dough. The idea is for this bread to look like a braid. Everyone braids differently: some braid a bun in three parts, while others can weave more complex patterns. In any case, the taste does not change. Since I learned to bake wicker, I no longer buy it in stores - homemade is much tastier! The recipe is very simple and not very long. So go ahead and get to work and you’ll be guaranteed a rosy, fragrant braid for your tea. Another advantage is that homemade wicker is stored for a long time and does not become stale.

Flour – 3 cups;
Milk or water – 1 and 1/4 cups;
Dry yeast – 3 teaspoons;
Sugar – 3 teaspoons;
Flour – 3.5 - 4 cups (2.5 for the dough + 1 cup for mixing and a little more);
Cream margarine – 50 grams;
Egg – 1 pc. (yolk only);
Salt – 1/2 teaspoon;
Milk – 2 tablespoons;
Poppy – for sprinkling.

Let's start preparing the dough with dough. Mix yeast and sugar in a small container and dissolve them in warm milk or water. You need to dissolve completely, so that there are no dry lumps.

Cover the container with the dough with a bag or cling film and place in a warm place to rise. Depending on the quality of the yeast, this will take approximately 15-30 minutes.

Place the margarine in the refrigerator in advance - it should be slightly soft, but not flowing. It must be cut into large pieces into a separate container.

Pour 2.5 cups of sifted flour into the margarine, add salt and rub the margarine and flour into fine crumbs with your hands.

When the dough is ready, you need to add it to the container with the crumbs and mix everything thoroughly with a spoon. You will get a viscous sticky dough.

It is good to sprinkle the table with flour and place the dough from the bowl on a flour mat. Gradually add flour and knead into a homogeneous, smooth dough that does not stick to your hands. To do this you will need approximately 1 more cup of flour.

Place the dough ball in a bowl, cover with cling film and place in a warm place to rise for about 1 hour.

When the dough rises, it must be kneaded and divided into 2 parts. Each part will make one braid.

Now we divide each part into 3 equal parts and roll identical sausages from each, the ends of which are carefully connected.

We braid the sausages. Thus, we have 2 braids, which we place on a baking sheet, lightly sprinkled with flour. Cover the baking sheet with film or a napkin and leave the braids to rise for about 20-30 minutes.

Mix the yolk thoroughly in a small bowl raw egg and 2 tablespoons of milk (no need to whisk). This is how we got an ice cream for lubricating the braids.

Lubricate the suitable braids with ice cream on top and sides. It is convenient to do this with a pastry brush.

Now carefully sprinkle the braids with poppy seeds. Poppy sticks well to braids lubricated with ice cream.

The top needs to be lubricated with ice cream again. Spread directly onto the poppy seed.

The oven must be preheated to a temperature of 200 degrees and place a baking sheet in it for 10 minutes. Then reduce the temperature to 180 degrees and bake for another 20 minutes until cooked and golden brown. When the braids are ready, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
