Method
-
For the Dough:
- In a bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk with a pinch of sugar. Let it sit until frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, melted butter, eggs, and salt.
- Add the yeast mixture to the flour mixture, kneading until a smooth dough forms.
- 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:
- In a saucepan, heat milk, honey, and sugar until the sugar dissolves.
- Stir in the ground poppy seeds, orange zest, and lemon zest. Cook until the mixture thickens.
- Allow the poppy seed filling to cool.
Assembling:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle.
- Spread the poppy seed filling evenly over the dough.
- Roll the dough tightly from the longer side, forming a log.
- Place the log on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, shaping it into a ring.
- Brush the top with beaten egg.
- 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.
