• Dough: 500g flour, 7g yeast, 200ml warm milk, 80g sugar, 2 yolks, 100g butter
• Filling: 400g ground poppy seeds, 200ml milk, 150g honey, 100g sugar
• 50g raisins, 50g chopped almonds
• zest of 1 orange
• 1 egg white, whisked

👩‍🍳 Method

1. Make the enriched dough and prove 1 hr.
2. Simmer the poppy seeds in the milk 20 min until thick, then stir in the honey, sugar, raisins, almonds and zest. Cool completely.
3. Fold the whisked egg white through the cold filling — it lightens it so the roll doesn't turn into a brick.
4. Roll the dough into a large rectangle, spread the filling to within 2cm of the edges.
5. Roll up from the long side, fairly tightly, and tuck the ends under. Prove 30 min.
6. Bake at 180°C for 45 min. Glaze with lemon icing once cold. Christmas in a slice.
