Easter
Description
Homemade baked goods for tea. I ended up with a large wreath. The diameter of my pan is 35 cm. With this amount of ingredients, you can confidently bake two or three small wreaths. If desired, you can add vanilla or almond extract to the dough, which will give the baked goods even more aroma. Watch and remember, the baking is ready. Serve at the table.

Meanwhile, prepare the filling for the wreath. Soak the raisins. Cook the poppy seeds (add a little water and sugar to the poppy seeds, simmer over low heat until the liquid has evaporated). Chop the nuts. When the dough has risen about four times, it is ready. Press it down with your hands.

Step 6
Divide the dough into 3 parts. Roll out each part into a long strip. Place poppy seeds (nuts, raisins) in the center, then pinch the edges closed.

For decoration, sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds, or both. Place the baking sheet in a warm oven to proof for 30 minutes. Turn on the oven and bake the "wreath" at 170–180 degrees for 45 minutes. Adjust the time and temperature according to your oven.
