Bratislavské rožky
Also known as: Pressburg Crescent Rolls
Bratislava yeast pastries with poppy filling and a marbled yolk glaze.

About Bratislavské rožky
Bratislavské noviny publishes this poppy-filled Bratislava pastry recipe with attribution to the West Slovak bakers’ and confectioners’ guild. It describes a delicate dough, a substantial filling and a distinctive marbled brown glaze.
Poppy seeds, sugar, vanilla sugar and lemon zest flavour the filling. The dough combines two wheat-flour grades with yeast, milk and butter, with butter selected from the source’s offered fats.
The filled rolls are shaped into small horseshoes. A yolk-and-water glaze dries and cracks before baking to create the marbled surface; breadcrumbs are an optional thickener if the poppy filling remains loose.
