Ingredients

  • 500 g flour
  • 42 g fresh yeast (1 cube)
  • 250 ml lukewarm milk
  • 150 g sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 100 g butter
  • 60 g pistachio kernels
  • 250 g apricot jam
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 75 g ground poppy seeds
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 0.5 tsp ground cardamom

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Whisk the yeast into the lukewarm milk with 1 tsp sugar until smooth.

  2. 2.

    Add flour, 90 g sugar, a pinch of salt and butter pieces to a mixing bowl, pour in the yeast milk, and knead with an electric hand mixer’s dough hooks until a dough forms. Cover and let rise for 45 minutes in a warm place.

  3. 3.

    Meanwhile, roughly chop pistachios. In a pot heat 200 g jam with lemon juice. Stir in pistachios, poppy seeds, remaining sugar, cinnamon, and cardamom.

  4. 4.

    Divide the dough in half. Roll each piece on a floured surface into a rectangle about 1 cm thick. Spread the poppy seed mixture over it. Roll up from the long side and cut the roll into slices about 2 cm thick.

  5. 5.

    Place the rolls spaced apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, press slightly flatter, and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 20–25 minutes.

  6. 6.

    Meanwhile warm the remaining jam with 2–3 tbsp water in a pot, strain through a sieve, and brush the finished rolls with it.
