Makovnjaca /Poppy Seeds

Poppy seed cake/sweet bread. This delicious one photographed now is from Bread Club in Zagreb.

Here’s a Croatian recipe (in English) for Makovnjaca.

In 2011 I posted about Povitica. A loaf that reveals a swirl of poppy seed filling or walnuts when sliced and is found in many different countries. I can’t distinguish the two names except the one we ate with tea was moist and flavorful.

Do you like poppy seeds?
