White poppy seed yeast buns – notes
I don’t live in Poznań, or even nearby, but like all of Poland, I fell in love with their white poppy seed croissants baked mainly for Saint Martin’s Day. Now they are more generally available, but a few years ago they were practically impossible to get, so I baked Saint Martin’s croissants myself.
November 11th is coming soon, and with it, we’ll be enjoying these delicious croissants again.
If you’re in the mood, this year I recommend much quicker and definitely easier canned poppy seed buns – mine are with white poppy seed filling.
Croissants take much longer to prepare, but these yeast buns will be ready in about three hours.
What’s more – if you use ready-made white poppy seed filling, their preparation will be as easy as pie ;)
I bought ready-made white poppy seed filling in a can – it’s great that this kind is also available now. The filling is very tasty and has a good consistency (I bought the Bakalland brand filling).
I didn’t use all of it for the buns – I used less than half a can.
So you can make a double batch of buns right away, or use the rest of the filling for another baked good.
I hope you’ll enjoy these canned poppy seed yeast buns, and while I’m at it, I can also recommend preparing flaky poppy seed croissants :)
How to make white poppy seed filling?
Do you have white poppy seeds at home and don’t want to buy ready-made filling?
Then you can make such a filling yourself. On the blog, there is a recipe for poppy seed strudel, where I described exactly how to prepare poppy seed filling from seeds. A large portion is given there, so make it with half, or even 1/3 – that will be completely enough. You can also prepare a typical poppy seed filling like for Saint Martin’s croissants. I also suggest making it with 1/3 of the portion – unless you use the rest of the filling differently :)
How to make white poppy seed yeast buns – tips
You can make the yeast dough itself using your favorite recipe, or use the one I provided below the photos.
As usual, I used fresh yeast, but if you only have instant, use one packet (about 7 g). You don’t need to prepare a yeast starter; just add the yeast to the flour, add the rest of the ingredients, and knead the dough. If your home is rather cool, I recommend putting the yeast dough in the oven and leaving it there to rise. I very often turn on the oven and set the temperature to 30 degrees Celsius – then the dough rises even faster.
To make my poppy seed yeast buns look more attractive, I rolled them up and twisted them. I recorded a short video for you, so you can see how to make similar buns :)
White poppy seed yeast buns turn out very tasty and disappear in a flash.
My husband alone ate five! pieces in the evening.
You can additionally drizzle the buns with icing. Just put about a cup of powdered sugar into a bowl and add milk, about 3 tablespoons, one spoon at a time. Mix thoroughly and spread it over the buns. Icing not only adds sweetness to the yeast buns – it also makes them dry out less.
Store the buns in an airtight container to keep them fresh longer.
P.S.
By the way, I recommend my book “Beata’s Best Bakes” where you will also find recipes for yeast cakes, and besides them, many other appetizing and simple recipes for homemade sweets.
