Poppy roll without yeast
Description
The pastry is simple and quick to prepare. Since the dough is yeast-free, there's no need to let it sit for a long time, so you can make these rolls much faster. You can add raisins, dried apricots, walnuts, or almonds to the poppy seeds. These rolls always turn out soft, aromatic, and very delicious. Serve them cooled or slightly warm.
