How to Make Hungarian Christmas Bread
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide the dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one half of the dough into a large rectangle (approximately 18x24 inches).
- Spread half of the walnut or poppy seed filling evenly over the dough.
- Carefully roll up the dough tightly, starting from the long side.
- Place the rolled-up dough seam-down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Repeat steps 5-8 with the remaining dough and filling.
- Brush the loaves with egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of milk).
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30-40 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let the bread cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
