I really love buns with poppy seeds. I used to cook according to my grandmother’s recipe, but it was too complicated. I came across this recipe by accident and really liked the buns with poppy seeds made from yeast dough. Having all the ingredients at home, I decided to make the dough. I prepared everything according to the recipe, but added more sugar to the filling. It seemed to me that for such a quantity of poppy seeds 2 spoons would not be enough, I put 4 and still not enough. Since we have a sweet tooth, the buns turned out not at all sweet for us. Next time I’ll put 100 g of sugar per 100 g of poppy seeds) The dough recipe is very simple, it turns out an elastic and tender dough that rolls out perfectly. The poppy seed filling was not at all difficult to make. I crushed nuts, boiled poppy seeds, and sugar with a blender. I didn’t try the filling in time for my own reasons, otherwise I would have added sugar at this stage. I didn’t divide the dough into 2 parts, but rolled everything out at once, fortunately the surface allows - the dough layer turned out to be large) It turned out to be 13 poppy seed buns, I cut the roll into pieces of 4 cm, or 5 cm (12 pieces). But the roll, apparently, was not pinched perfectly, because after proofing, my buns “crept” a little in the places where they were pinched. You need to pinch it very well, as the author writes. Baking according to this recipe is excellent, the pastry is very soft and tasty. The poppy seed and nut filling is great, but not very sweet. To top it off, this is now my favorite poppy seed bun recipe! Thank you!

There is no Carlson for your poppy seed buns, Irisha! They look simply stunning, there are no words. Your baked goods turn out simply beautiful, I am truly captivated by your skill! I dream of learning how to bake beautifully and have everything rise as it should. My relationship with yeast dough has not yet worked out very well. Either it’s not worthy, or it’s not worth it, I can’t take care of it. these are the ones I make

For some reason my poppy seeds taste bitter. Maybe add more water when cooking next time? Or is this how it should be?
