What to treat your relatives to during New Year and Christmas: recipe for puffy roll with poppy seeds

Winter holidays are always about cozy gatherings with family with tea. That's why you can't do without sweet homemade pastries. In addition, you need to prepare one that you can give to your guests as a treat.

The idea of making homemade poppy seed rolls for Christmas and New Year was published on the Instagram page of food blogger Natalia with the nickname talli_sun. The dough is very simple.

Ingredients for the dough:

• flour - 250 g

• sugar - 2-3 tbsp
• yeast - 7 g
• salt - 0.5 tsp
• cream 10% - 150 ml
• butter - 20 g
• egg yolk - 1 pc (for greasing)

Ingredients for the filling:

• poppy seeds - 250 g
• milk - 250 ml
• egg white - 1 pc
• sugar - 80 g

Method of preparation:

1. Pour yeast, 1 tbsp of sugar and 1 tbsp of flour into the warm cream and leave for 15 minutes.

2. Add salt and sugar to the flour. Add yeast and knead the dough.

3. Add melted butter and knead the dough again to a smooth, elastic form.

4. Leave in a warm place for 1.5 hours (the dough should double in size during this time).

5. Prepare the filling. Pour boiling water over the poppy seeds, put them on low heat and let them boil for 10 minutes. Drain the water (use a strainer), pour milk and put it back on low heat. Let it boil for another 10 minutes.

6. Strain, add sugar and blend with a blender. Let it cool completely. Add egg whites and mix.

7. Roll out the dough into a rectangle (not too thin so that the roll does not crack during baking), put the poppy seeds on top, and roll it up.

8. Leave to stand for 25-30 minutes.

9. Brush with egg yolk and bake for 30-35 minutes at 180 degrees.
