Description
In Russia, the poppy seed roll is often baked for Christmas. The yeast dough is rolled out relatively thin and covered with a rich filling of poppy seeds. The filling offers plenty of space for small improvisations: you can add grated orange or lemon peel, nuts, raisins, honey, etc.
In order to give the sweet cake roll its extraordinary fine taste, the poppy seeds are finely pureed. In addition, the finished poppy seed roll can be drizzled with a little fresh lemon juice or rolled in airy powdered sugar.
