Ingredients:

For the Dough:

 - 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour

 - 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast

 - ¼ cup granulated sugar

 - ½ tsp salt

 - 1 cup milk, warmed

 - ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

 - 1 large egg

For the Filling:

 - 1 cup poppy seeds

 - ½ cup granulated sugar

 - ¼ cup honey

 - 1 cup milk

 - 1 tsp vanilla extract

 - ¼ cup finely chopped nuts (optional)

For the Glaze:

 - 1 egg yolk

 - 1 tbsp milk

Instructions:

Prepare the Dough:

  1. In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk and let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and egg.

  3. Mix until a dough forms. Turn it out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Prepare the Filling:

  1. In a saucepan, combine the poppy seeds, sugar, honey, milk, and vanilla extract. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens (about 5-7 minutes). Allow to cool.

Assemble the Roll:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Punch down the risen dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle (about 12x18 inches).

  3. Spread the cooled poppy seed filling evenly over the dough. Sprinkle with nuts if using.

  4. Roll the dough tightly from one end to the other, pinching the seams to seal.

  5. Place the roll on the prepared baking sheet. Brush with the egg yolk mixed with milk.

Bake:

  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the roll is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.

  2. Let cool before slicing.

Enjoy your homemade Poppy Seed Roll as a sweet breakfast treat or a delightful dessert!
