  • 200 ml lukewarm milk
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 egg
  • 75 g soft butter
  • 250 g poppy seeds (ground)
  • 100 g raisins
  • 3 tbsp rum
  • 30 g semolina

  • 100 g sugar
  • 1 tsp grated lemon zest
  • 2 tbsp chopped walnuts
  • 4 tbsp apricot jam
  • butter (for the baking tray)

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Dissolve yeast in lukewarm milk, mix with dough ingredients and knead well. Let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour.

  2. 2.

    Soak raisins in rum. Mix poppy seeds and semolina, bring milk to boil and pour over them. Add rum-soaked raisins, sugar, lemon zest, and walnuts; let the mixture soak for about 15 minutes.

  3. 3.

    Knead the yeast dough again and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle of approximately 30x35 cm. Spread the filling over it, leaving a 2 cm border. Roll the dough from one long side, place seam-side down on a greased baking tray, and let rise for about 20 minutes. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 45 minutes until golden brown.
