How to Make Poppy Seed Roll :

Step 1

We jump right in by warming the milk until it feels warm but not hot. Add the yeast and a small amount of sugar then let it rest until it becomes foamy. This step shows that the yeast is active and ready to work.

Step 2

Together with that in a large bowl combine the flour remaining sugar and salt. Add the yeast mixture melted butter and eggs. Mix until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. Cover and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size.

Step 3

Following along while the dough rises prepare the poppy seed filling. Combine poppy seeds milk and sugar in a small pot. Cook gently until thick then remove from heat. Stir in vanilla and optional lemon zest. Let the filling cool completely.

Step 4

At this stage you once the dough has risen roll it out into a rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Spread the cooled poppy seed filling evenly over the dough leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 5

As the finishing touch roll the dough tightly into a log starting from the long side. Place the roll seam side down on a baking sheet. Cover and let it rest briefly while the oven preheats and bake until golden brown and fragrant. Let the roll cool slightly before slicing so the swirls hold their shape.
