Ingredients

4 cups flour
Pinch of salt
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons dried yeast
6 ounces milk
1 lemon, zested
4 tablespoons of butter

Filling:
4 tablespoons butter
4 ounces poppy seed

2 ounces honey
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/4 cup orange zest
1/2 cup ground almonds
1 egg yolk
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon milk

Directions

Sift the flour, salt, and sugar in a bowl.
Stir in the yeast and make a well. Heat the milk and lemon in a pan with the butter. Let
mixture cool and then mix with dry ingredients. Knead the dough mixture until smooth and
elastic and cover in a bowl. Let rise in warm place until it doubles in size. While the
dough is rising get started on the filling. Melt butter in a medium sized pan and add all
the poppy seeds except for 1 tablespoon. Add the honey, raisins and zest. Cook on low for
5 minutes and remove from heat, add the almonds and let cool. Cream the egg yolk and sugar
together, and fold into poppy seed mixture. Begin to roll out dough on a floured surface
into a 12 by 12-inch square. Roll dough to 1/8-inch thick. Spread your filling to within
1-inch of the edge of the dough. Roll both ends towards the center. Brush with olive oil

and cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 1 hour. Brush with milk and sprinkle with
remaining poppy seeds. Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 30 minutes or until golden
brown.
