Ingredients

  • 450 g flour
  • 200 ml milk
  • 20g yeast
  • 80g sugar
  • 80g butter
  • 1 egg
  • 300 g poppy seeds
  • 250 ml milk
  • 80g honey
  • 60 g raisins

Instructions

  1. Heat the 250 ml milk for the filling, simmer the poppy seeds gently for 10 minutes and then let them swell. Drain, grind finely and mix with honey and raisins; let cool.
  2. For the dough, heat only the remaining 200 ml of milk until lukewarm. Dissolve the yeast in it and knead it with flour, sugar, butter and egg to form a smooth yeast dough.
  3. Cover and let rise for 60-90 minutes until the volume has increased significantly. Roll out into a rectangle and spread with the cooled poppy seed filling.
  4. Roll up, place seam side down on baking paper and bake at 180 °C top/bottom heat for 35-45 minutes. Allow to cool for at least 1 hour before cutting.

Tips

  • The two amounts of milk belong in different preparations.
