Things to know about Makovnjaca Recipe

Strudels are originally from Central Europe, but in Serbia, they came from Germany and Austria during World Wars. Strudels became a staple in Vojvodina Cuisine and Croatian Cuisine, that is because they were part of Austria for a long time.

In Vojvodina, Poppy Seed Roll or strudel became very popular and the recipe remained to this day. Makovnjaca means “made out of poppy.” This dessert was made in time for harvesting wheat, so this is usually a late summer recipe even though housewives now make it more times throughout the year.

Makovnjaca is made from sourdough that is rolled thinly and quite dry. But that is why the filling is juicy and made out of poppy seeds, sugar, and milk.
