How to cook deliciously - Poppy seed cake with plums

1. Stage

Sift the two types of flour and mix together. You can use only white wheat flour, but I still recommend using whole wheat, trellis flour. You will immediately feel the difference and appreciate the result.

2. Stage

Divide the milk into two bowls. In one half whisk the egg with a fork. In the other crumble the yeast, mix it with a tablespoon of sugar and two spoons of flour. Stir and place in a warm place for about 20 minutes until a cap is formed.

Meanwhile, prepare the zest by grating the rind of the lemon on a fine grater.

Add salt, egg and milk mixture, yeast and odorless sunflower oil to the flour. Stir to combine.

5. Stage

On a lightly floured table, knead the dough.

6. Stage

You may need a little more flour, but don't add too much. The dough should be very soft and sticky. Place the dough in a bowl, cover with a towel and leave to rise in a warm place for 45-60 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Boil the milk with the sugar, vanilla sugar, cinnamon and zest.

8. Stage

Add the ground poppy seeds (if you only have whole poppy seeds, you need to grind them in a coffee grinder). Stirring, warm it for a couple of minutes on a low flame. Then cool it down and add two spoons of rum. It is impossible to imagine baking in the Czech Republic without rum, it gives a unique flavor. If you don't want to buy a bottle of rum, I recommend at least using rum essence, diluted, for example, in vodka or, at worst, in water.

Roll up the dough with the filling as tightly as possible. Lightly press with the palms of your hands along the entire length, stretch it a little more. If the dough tears a little, just peel off the edge of the dough and stick it on the hole, the dough will rise and nothing will be visible.

Butter the muffin tin. I also greased a silicone one just in case. Put our roll in it in a spiral and press down. Place in a warm place for 20 minutes to proof.

I didn't wait for it to cool completely, because the smells in the kitchen are very tempting. Quickly make tea and coffee, cut off a piece and enjoy. The dough is so tender that I can't express it with words! And just look at the beauty inside!
