Poppy-Seeds Striezel, 850 g

Traditions are not always outdated, but often worth preserving. That is why we have tried to revive a classic with our Silesian-style poppy seed strudel. With its nutty aroma and crunchy crumbles, it is simply a delight. Try it yourself and order your copy at das-original-aus-dresden.de!

What makes the poppy seed strudel special

Two things are already visually real special features that make this traditional pastry an absolute highlight. Firstly, our Striezel does not have a thick layer of icing sugar, although the dough is the same as that of the normal Stollen. Instead, it is decorated with a nice layer of juicy butter crumbles, which crack in your mouth with every bite. 

On the other hand, when cut, the second special feature becomes apparent: the poppy seed filling, as a dark swirl in the light-coloured dough. Of course we cannot tell you the exact recipe, it is a closely guarded family secret. But this much we can say: it is essential for the wonderful aroma of the pastry to grind the poppy seeds just before processing. This ensures that its bitter-nutty flavour is intensively retained in the filling. This is now added to the rolled out dough, which is then traditionally whipped and baked. This allows the poppy seed to pass through the entire striezel. 

Just right for poppy seed lovers!

To protect the pastry from drying out, we also coat it with a glaze of clear, hot butter and granulated sugar. This gives it even more juiciness and a pleasant dash of sweetness. If stored correctly - dry and cool, preferably in the refrigerator at 5-8°C - the Striezel will keep for up to 4 weeks. At least theoretically.

In practice, it is usually washed away much faster. Because do you know what else makes the poppy seed strudel so special? It is not a Christmas biscuit for sale! We bake this treat for you all year round in our online shop at das-original-aus-dresden.de. It really fits on every coffee table and delights all poppy lovers equally. Try it out for yourself.
