Poppy seed roll

I want to share my mom's recipe - a poppy seed roll in my version.

It's quite simple to prepare - knead the yeast dough (yeast, a glass of warm milk, a few eggs, half a glass of sugar, a pinch of salt, a little butter), let it brew for 1.5-2 hours. Meanwhile, grind the poppy seeds (before that, pour boiling water over them and dry them) and mix them with powdered sugar to taste.

Roll out the infused dough so that it is shaped like a rectangle, spread it with poppy seeds, roll it into a roll and let it stand in a warm place for another 30 minutes so that it fits a little, otherwise the dough will start to crack in the oven.

And then throw the rolls into the oven. It's done! You can serve with ice cream, sprinkle the roll with powdered sugar.

Cake with egg yolks

The cupcake turns out moderately sweet and crumbly. I leave it in a tightly sealed container overnight, and in the morning it turns into a delicate, melt-in-your-mouth dessert. I add homemade candied oranges and their syrup to the dough, but you can add chocolate in drops, berries, dried fruits, zest, and in general, anything you like. Enjoy experimenting!"

Turkish bagel simit

«To the Turks, simit – what baguette is to the French. It's not just a bread. It's a way of life. They start their mornings with simit, they eat simit at noon and get a good energy boost... Crunchy sesame, slightly sweet browned crust, incredibly tender «creamy» crumb – for the sake of simit, it is worth it to mess with the dough! Especially since the process is not very long and complicated.

Cinnamon braid

The dough is very quick to prepare, the only skill required is to roll the roll into a braid and a ring. But even that is harder to describe than to do. The dough is moderately sweet and moderately fluffy, but flavorful and tender. In general, for a family tea party – very worthy company.
