Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make a poppy seed roll from puff pastry? Prepare your food. You can not only take ready-made dough, but also make it yourself. Pre-defrost the finished dough by transferring it from the freezer to the bottom shelf of the refrigerator — this way defrosting will occur most delicately, which is especially important when working with yeast dough. You can learn how to make homemade puff pastry by following the link at the end of the recipe.

Step 2
Start cooking with the filling. To do this, pour the poppy seeds into a saucepan and pour boiling water over them. Take twice as much water as poppy seeds. Next, you can leave the poppy seed to swell for 30 minutes or, to speed up the process, simmer it over low heat for 15 minutes.
