Directions: |
Directions:Sprinkle yeast and 1 tsp. white sugar on lukewarm water.
Let stand 10 min. and stir well.
Heat milk and add sugar, salt, and shortening.
Cool to lukewarm and add yeast and well-beaten egg.
Add flour gradually, beating well to incorporate lots of air.
Turn dough onto floured board and knead until smooth and elastic.
Place into a bowl and let rise in a warm place until double in bulk, about one hour.
Punch down to release gas bubbles.
Granny spread the dough on a cookie sheet very thinly and let it rise again.
For kuchen, she would sprinkle the streusel over the top and bake 375 for 20 to 25 minutes.
For poppyseed filling: Soak poppyseed overnight, drain and put through the meat grinder. She also added about 1 1/2 cups of raisons, coconut and walnuts.
For poppyseed roll, she would roll the dough into an oblong shape and brush the dough with an egg wash.( one egg, slightly beaten with a little water) Spread with poppyseed filling. Roll the dough like cinnamon buns and place into a loaf pan and bake 325 for 35 to 40 minutes or until done. |
