Instructions

Mix flour, sugar, yeast, lukewarm milk, butter, and eggs to form a smooth dough. Knead well and let rise for 1 hour until doubled in size.

Cook ground poppy seeds with milk, honey, and raisins over low heat for 10-15 minutes until thickened. Stir in chopped almonds and let cool completely.

Roll out the dough into a large rectangle and spread the cooled poppy seed filling evenly over the surface, leaving a small border.

Roll up the dough tightly from the long side and place seam-side down on a lined baking sheet.

Let rise for 30 minutes, then bake at 180°C (350°F) for 60 minutes until golden brown.

Let cool completely, then drizzle with icing sugar glaze before slicing and serving.
