👩🍳 Instructions:
-
Combine Flour and Yeast:
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of flour and the active dry yeast. -
Prepare Milk Mixture:
In a heavy saucepan over low heat, warm the milk, butter, sugar, and salt until it reaches 120-130°F. Gradually add this mixture to the flour and yeast, beating at low speed until well blended. Beat in the eggs. -
Create Dough:
Add 1/2 cup flour and lemon peel, beating at high speed for 2 minutes. Stir in the remaining flour with a wooden spoon to form a soft dough. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. -
First Rise:
Place the dough in a greased bowl, covering it with a clean towel. Allow it to rise in a warm, draft-free place for 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until doubled in bulk. -
Prepare Filling:
Mix poppy seeds, dates, almonds, currants, orange peel, sugar, and flour in a bowl. Melt butter in a saucepan, then beat cream and egg together. Stir this mixture into the saucepan until blended. Add the poppy seed mixture and cook over low heat for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Set aside to cool. -
Roll and Fill:
Roll out the dough on a floured surface to a 14×16-inch rectangle. Spread the poppy seed mixture evenly, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Roll up the dough jelly-roll style from both short ends, sealing the rolls together. -
Second Rise:
Place the roll, seam side down, on a greased cookie sheet. Cover and let it rise for 40 to 50 minutes until almost doubled in bulk. -
Preheat and Glaze:
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Brush the glaze over the roll. -
Bake to Perfection:
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the roll achieves a golden brown perfection. -
