Makowiec

This is the kind of Polish snack you’ll make on repeat — poppy seeds and all-purpose flour, 120 minutes, big payoff. At 560 calories and 13g protein per serving, it fits easily into a high-protein day. Naturally vegetarian, it scales cleanly if you are cooking for more than one.

Ingredients

• 1 lb Poppy seeds
• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Milk
• 1/2 cup Butter
• 2 tsp Active dry yeast
• 1/2 cup Honey
• 1 cup Walnuts
• 1/2 cup Raisins
• 1 Orange

Steps

1. Grind the poppy seeds twice — whole seeds make a gritty filling; ground seeds make it creamy.
2. Simmer the ground seeds in milk 15 minutes, then mix with honey, walnuts, raisins, and orange zest.
3. Make a soft yeast dough and rise 1 hour until doubled.
4. Roll into a large rectangle, spread the filling thick, and roll into a tight log.
5. Rise 30 minutes more, then bake at 350 degrees 40 minutes until deeply golden.
6. Cool completely before slicing; the spiral should be even and generous.
