Polish Poppy Seed Shortbread Pie

A lot of poppy seeds. Pie for those who love poppy seeds! Today I invite you to try one delicious pie from Polish cuisine. Letʼs move to Poland for a while. As it turned out, they really love baked goods with poppy seeds. And they not only make yeast pies and rolls with poppy seeds, but also bake shortbread pies with poppy seeds. The filling turns out very satisfying and tasty. Such pies are usually prepared in winter, but sometimes they are made for weddings. Yes Yes ! At a wedding they must have baked goods with poppy seeds. Try it! I like it.

Step 16

Now take our second piece of dough. Letʼs roll it out on paper through film. And using paper, we transfer it to the poppy. Press down along the edges. We make punctures. And set to bake for 50 minutes at 180 degrees.

Step 17

The pie will be ready when the top is browned. We take it out and let it cool.
