Recipes Bread Yeast Bread Recipes Mohnstollen (Poppy Seed Stollen) 4.8 (4) 3 Reviews 2 Photos Mohnstollen is a beautiful poppy seed stollen that's often served at Christmas, and this recipe comes straight from Germany. Freshly ground poppy seeds taste best — in Germany, you can find special grinders for poppy seeds, but you can also use a mortar and pestle. Don't use a regular spice grinder though, as poppy seeds contain a lot of oil that will clog the grinder.

Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 14 servings Dough: 4 cups all-purpose flour 1 ounce fresh yeast 1 cup lukewarm milk 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, cut into pieces 6 tablespoons white sugar ½ teaspoon salt Filling: 2 cups finely ground poppy seeds 1 cup hot whole milk ¾ cup white sugar ¼ cup raisins 2 tablespoons honey 4 teaspoons vanilla sugar 1 medium lemon, zested 1 teaspoon rum 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar Directions Place flour into a large bowl and make a well in the center. Crumble fresh yeast into the well, then pour in lukewarm milk. Mix yeast and milk together in the well to combine, leaving flour untouched. Cover and let sit in a warm place until foamy, about 15 minutes. Mix a little flour at a time into yeast mixture until no flour remains. Add butter, sugar, and salt; knead until a soft, pliable dough forms. Cover with a clean dish towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour. Grease a baking sheet with butter. Roll dough on a lightly floured surface into a thin rectangle. Make the filling: Place ground poppy seeds into a bowl. Pour hot milk over top, then add sugar, raisins, honey, vanilla sugar, lemon zest, and rum. Stir until well combined. Spread filling over dough. Start at a longer edge, and roll dough up and over filling into a log; press the seam together with your fingers to seal. Place the log, seam-side down, onto the prepared baking sheet. Cover and let rise for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 40 minutes. Allow to cool for about 1 hour, then dust with confectioners' sugar.
