Vegan poppy seed pastry
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. This recipe is simple to make. Its appeal lies in the fact that it contains no enriched dough. And even though the dough rises with yeast, it turns out light and completely free of fat. In the past, such lean poppy seed pastries were made for fasting days. The dough is very easy to prepare and comes out perfectly the first time. Serve this pastry cut into portions. If desired, it can be lightly dusted with powdered sugar. The finished dish is ready to be served.

Continue kneading. At the end, add a little vegetable oil. Once the dough becomes too stiff to stir with a spoon, transfer it onto a floured surface. Knead thoroughly, then place in a warm spot, covered with a towel. After forty minutes, the dough will have doubled in size.
