  • 20 g fresh yeast (1/2 cube)
  • 50 g sugar
  • 300 g flour
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 100 g liquid butter
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 2 tbsp lukewarm milk
  • 0.125 l milk
  • 20 g butter
  • 200 g ground poppy seeds
  • 100 g sugar
  • 10 g cocoa powder
  • 0.5 untreated lemon
  • 2 tsp vanilla sugar
  • 25 g finely chopped lemon zest
  • 25 g finely chopped orange zest
  • 50 chopped hazelnuts
  • 50 g Raisins
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 Egg white
  • Rum (to taste)
  • breadcrumbs (as needed)
  • 50 g liquid butter
  • 200 g powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp rum
  • 1 tbsp chopped hazelnuts

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Crush the yeast and stir with a teaspoon of sugar in a cup until smooth. Mix flour with remaining sugar and salt, make a well in the center, pour in the yeast mixture, dust with flour, cover and let rest 15 minutes. Then add the remaining ingredients and knead vigorously into a supple dough. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour until doubled.

  2. 2.

    Bring milk and butter to a boil for the filling. Add poppy seeds, sugar, cocoa, grated lemon zest, and vanilla sugar. Cook about 5 minutes, then remove from heat. Stir in lemon zest, orange zest, nuts, raisins, and cinnamon. When slightly cooled, add egg white and a splash of rum. If the mixture is still soft, fold in breadcrumbs as needed. Let the filling cool completely.

  3. 3.

    Preheat oven to 160 °C fan. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

  4. 4.

    Knead the dough again, roll out on a floured surface to about 0.5 cm thick into a rectangle. Brush with melted butter, spread the filling, roll loosely and place on the tray. Let rise another 15 minutes, then bake for 40–50 minutes until golden brown.

  5. 5.

    Sift powdered sugar into a bowl and mix with rum and 1 tbsp warm water until smooth and glossy. Glaze the still-warm strudel and sprinkle chopped hazelnuts on top.
