Method

  1. For the Dough:

    1. In a bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk with a pinch of sugar. Let it sit until frothy.
    2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, melted butter, eggs, and salt.
    3. Add the yeast mixture to the flour mixture, kneading until a smooth dough forms.
    4. Cover the bowl with a cloth and let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1 hour).

    For the Filling:

    1. In a saucepan, heat milk, honey, and sugar until the sugar dissolves.
    2. Stir in the ground poppy seeds, orange zest, and lemon zest. Cook until the mixture thickens.
    3. Allow the poppy seed filling to cool.

    Assembling:

    1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
    2. Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle.
    3. Spread the poppy seed filling evenly over the dough.
    4. Roll the dough tightly from the longer side, forming a log.
    5. Place the log on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, shaping it into a ring.
    6. Brush the top with beaten egg.
    7. Bake for 45 minutes or until golden brown.
    Pro Tips
    • Ensure the poppy seeds are finely ground for a smoother filling.
    • And leave some whole for the beautiful crunchy sensation.
    • Brush the pastry with egg wash before baking for a golden finish.
