Poppy Seed Roll

Poppy Seed Roll is a traditional pastry consisting of a sweet, soft yeast dough topped or filled with a generous layer of ground poppy seeds. The filling is often flavored with sugar, milk, or honey, creating a rich, nutty taste. Once assembled, the roll is shaped into a log or braid and baked until golden brown. It is commonly enjoyed as a breakfast pastry or dessert, offering a balance of sweetness and earthy poppy seed flavor, with a moist, tender crumb. Popular in Central European cuisines, it is valued for its comforting texture and distinctive flavor profile.
