A soft yeast roll with a juicy sweet poppy seed filling. It makes a beautiful spiral when cut, and goes well with tea warm or cooled.

Method

Mix the warm milk, yeast and 1 tbsp of sugar and leave for 15 minutes until foamy. Add the egg, melted butter, 50 g of sugar, salt and flour, knead a soft dough and leave it under a towel in a warm place for 1.5 hours.
While the dough rises, cover the poppy seeds with boiling water for 20 minutes, then drain and grind them in a mortar or blend. Add the remaining sugar and mix.
Roll the risen dough into a rectangle about 1 cm thick. Spread the poppy seed mixture evenly, leaving 2 cm free around the edges.
Roll the dough tightly into a log and pinch the edges well. Transfer the roll seam side down to a parchment-lined baking sheet and leave for 20 minutes.
Bake at 180 °C for 35–40 minutes until golden. Cool the roll under a towel for 15 minutes and cut into slices.
