Makovnik 500g - Slovak Poppy Seed Roll

Makovnik is a Slovak poppy seed roll. This traditional Slovakian festive cake is made in an artisan bakery with a sweet filling of ground poppy seeds. Enjoy the pastry on its own, or serve it with a dusting of icing sugar for an even more indulgent experience.

Makovnik rolls are a popular festive treat in Slovakia, traditionally served as a dessert at Christmas and also used to celebrate Easter.

How it is made

The makovnik recipe involves rolling out a dough, which is then generously layered with a sweet blend of freshly ground poppy seeds and a mixture of dried and candied fruits. The filled pastry is tightly rolled and brushed with egg yolk for its characteristic marbled crust.

Each cake is crafted at a multi-award-winning patisserie following a family recipe, with a dedicated team of master confectioners expertly preparing each poppy seed roll by hand.

We ship the makovnik in special protective packaging to ensure that it arrives ready for serving, looking and tasting its best.

The makovnik comes with a Best Before date of 28 days from the day of your purchase, so you can now enjoy this Christmas and Easter treat throughout the year.
