Makovnjaca or Strudla sa Makom is a traditional Croatian poppy seed strudel cake made in an artisan bakery with a rich filling of ground poppy seeds. Enjoy the pastry on its own, or serve it with a dusting of icing sugar for an even sweeter experience.

Makovnjaca strudel are a popular festive treat in Croatia, traditionally served as a dessert at Christmas and also used to celebrate Easter. 

How is it made?

The makovnjaca 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 strudel cake is crafted at a multi-award-winning patisserie following a family recipe, with a dedicated team of master confectioners expertly preparing the poppy seed rolls by hand.
