👨🍳 Istruzioni
- 1
In a small bowl, combine lukewarm milk, 1 tsp of sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 2
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Ensure all dry ingredients are well combined. - 3
Pour the yeast mixture, egg yolks, and softened butter into the well. Mix until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. Knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 4
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
⏱️ 1 hour - 5
While the dough rises, prepare the filling. Combine ground poppy seeds, milk, sugar, honey, and lemon zest in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Do not boil vigorously. Stir in raisins if using. - 6
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle (about 30x40 cm).
💡 Consigli Professionali: Aim for an even thickness. - 7
Spread the cooled poppy seed filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Ensure the filling is not too hot when spreading. - 8
Carefully roll up the dough from the long side to form a log. Pinch the seam to seal.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Roll tightly to prevent the filling from escaping. - 9
Place the roll seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover and let it rest for another 20 minutes.
⏱️ 20 minutes - 10
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Brush the top of the roll with the beaten egg yolk.
💡 Consigli Professionali: This gives a nice golden sheen. - 11
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Let it cool completely before slicing.

💡 Consigli Professionali
- ✓For a finer poppy seed texture, grind them just before use.
- ✓If the dough becomes too sticky during kneading, add a little more flour, but avoid making it too stiff.
- ✓The roll can be glazed with a simple sugar glaze after cooling for extra sweetness.
