Steps:

  • Place poppy seeds into a pot, add milk and bring to boil. Turn the heat to low and simmer for an hour. While the filling is cooking, prepare the dough. Mix the flour and yeast in a large bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients and knead until the dough is smooth and elastic. Takes about 5 min. You can also use a food processor with a dough hook. Make a ball from the dough and place it in a greased bowl. Cover and let the dough rise for 1 hour. The filling is ready when the milk has almost all evaporated and the seeds resemble wet sand. Remove the filling from heat, add the butter and sugar. Process with a stick blender, to break the seeds. Alternatively you can use a food processor for this. Let the filling cool down to room temperature. Preheat the oven to 350F. Roll the dough into 1/3 inch thick rectangle (about 20*12 inches). Spread the filling evenly over the dough. Roll up dough, beginning on the long (wide) edge. Pinch the seam to seal at the end of rolling. Cut into 2 inch thick rolls. Place your rolls on a parchment lined baking sheet. Let them rise for 15 min, then brush with egg or melted butter and bake for 30 min.
