Make enriched dough. Prove 1 hour. Mix filling: poppy seeds, honey, raisins, nuts and lemon.

Roll dough into a rectangle. Spread filling. Roll tightly.

Prove 30 minutes. Bake at 180°C for 35-40 minutes. Ice when cool.

Chef's Tip

Roll the filling tightly but not too tight — the dough needs room to expand during proving.
