A soft yeast spelt bread wrapped around a poppy seed filling sweetened with dates and coconut syrup. This is the type of bread we enjoy for breakfast, especially on holidays and weekends. If you can't find ground poppy at your local stores, just grind the poppy seeds in a coffee or spice grinder until powdery.

- For the dough, place spelt flour in the bowl of your mixer. Make a well in the center and crumble in fresh yeast. Add in 3 tbsps of buttermilk, 1 tsp of coconut sugar and stir in some flour from the sides. Cover and set aside for 15 minutes.
- Now add in the rest of buttermilk, coconut sugar, softened butter, egg and a large pinch of salt. Stir first on slow speed for a couple of minutes until the dough roughly comes together. Increase the speed and knead until the dough forms a smooth, tacky ball that clears sides of bowl. Cover the dough with a plastic wrap or a damp tea towel and leave to rise in a warm place for 45-60 minutes until doubled in volume.
- While the dough proofs, prepare the filling. Soften the chopped dates in rum or apple juice. In a small saucepan, add in coconut cream and coconut syrup. Bring to a simmer. Add in ground poppy seeds. Cook and stir over the medium heat until thickened. Remove from the heat and cool to room temperature. Add in lemon zest, egg and soaked dates.
- Preheat the oven to 190C/375F. Grease and line the base and sides of a 32cm loaf pan with baking paper.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and punch down. Roll the dough into a 35cm x 45cm rectangle. Spread the poppy date filling over. Roll up each loosely from the long end to form a log. Use a sharp knife to cut the log lengthwise in half and weave the two pieces together to form a twist.
- Gently transfer to the prepared pan

I really appreciate nutritional information for recipes. Is that something you could include on all of yours?
Wow, this is the best poppy seed loaf I've ever seen! My grandma used to make one, but I don't have her recipe for it. So, over the years, I've poured over recipes, looking for one that I like to try, but haven't found it until now. I'll definitely try this.
That is a beautiful bread, Angie!

Angie, such a beautiful loaf and a gorgeous swirl! The flavor must be amazing!
Poppy seeds are wonderful! LOVE them in baked goods. Don't think I've had them combined with dates, though -- neat idea. Thanks!
This sounds and looks really delicious. I'm mostly excited because a couple of years ago I was given a poppy seed grinder. I still haven't used it -- I hadn't even known there was such a thing. This recipe has inspired me to finally use it. :-)
I would love to have a slice for breakfast..looks super delicious!!

I usually only see poppy seeds sprinkled on breads, muffins etc. but this filling has a substantial amount of poppy seeds, and naturally sweetened with dates! Wish I could have a slice..or two?
I'm totally enchanted! Not only is this a gorgeous bread, but the poppy seed swirl is irresistible. Just added poppy seeds to my grocery list. This is a must make! Thanks Angie!
A perfect looking loaf. I like that you make your own Mohnback too, the one in the stores is way too sweet, so I make my own most of the times as well.

Love poppy bread: the taste and color of it. Dates is a great addition!
You've nailed two of my favorite things to put in bakery, Angie! I would never have though to ground poppy seeds into a paste but love the idea! Beautifully twisted loaf!
Another beautiful loaf Angie :)
Poppy seeds are banned in Singapore (I think). which is a shame, coz your loaf looks really delish!
Again, delicious looking loaf, I am loving the idea of using the date and poppy seed as the filling...looks pretty too. Thanks for the recipe Angie. I hope you are enjoying your week!
