Ingredients
- 600 grams all-purpose flour
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tsp active dry yeast
- 120 grams unsalted butter, melted
- 2400 grams warm milk
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 200 grams poppy seeds, ground
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 60 grams raisins
- 60 grams chopped walnuts
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 250 grams milk
Steps
1.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and active dry yeast.
2.
Add the melted butter, warm milk, and beaten egg to the dry ingredients.
3.
Mix until a smooth dough forms.
4.
Knead the dough for about 10 minutes, until it becomes elastic and smooth.
5.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
6.
In a saucepan, combine the ground poppy seeds, sugar, honey, vanilla extract, raisins, chopped walnuts, lemon zest, and milk.
7.
Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened.
8.
Remove from heat and let it cool.
9.
Preheat your oven to 340°F (170°C).
10.
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
11.
Spread the poppy seed filling evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2 inch border.
12.
Roll up the dough tightly, starting from the long edge, and seal the seam by pinching it together.
13.
Place the roll on a parchment-lined baking sheet, seam-side down, and bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
14.
Remove from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
