My grandmother always made Nut and Poppyseed Roll, a Hungarian family favorite, as a treat for Christmas. It tastes extra delicious with a cup of coffee on Christmas morning as you sit by the Christmas tree. —Carrie J. Gamble, Doylestown, Pennsylvania

Yield
2 loaves (14 slices each)
Ingredients
- 2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
- 1 cup warm 2% milk (110° to 115°)
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 6 cups all-purpose flour
- NUT FILLING:
- 1 cup ground pecans
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup chopped dates
- 1/2 cup 2% milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg white
- POPPY SEED FILLING:
- 1 can (12-1/2 ounces) poppy seed cake and pastry filling
- 1/4 cup chopped raisins
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
- ICING:
- 2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 2 to 3 tablespoons water
Directions
- In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add milk, sour cream, sugar, butter, eggs, salt and 3 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Beat in remaining flour until mixture forms a soft dough. Transfer to a greased bowl, turning once the grease the top; cover and refrigerate overnight.
- Divide dough in half. Roll each portion into a 14x12-in. rectangle. For nut filling, in a small bowl, combine pecans, sugar, dates, milk and salt. In another bowl, beat egg white until stiff peaks form; fold into pecan mixture. Spread over 1 portion. Spread poppy seed filling over remaining dough; sprinkle with raisins and walnuts. Roll up each jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seams to seal and tuck ends under. Place seam side down on parchment-lined baking sheets. Let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°. Bake 35-40 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack. Combine confectioners' sugar and enough water to achieve desired consistency; drizzle over breads.
