Vegan roll
Description
During fasting periods, many sweet lovers suffer without delicious baked goods, but there's no need to. There are plenty of recipes allowing you to prepare tasty pastries without milk, eggs, or butter. Here is a very simple recipe for a lenten poppy seed roll. If you don't like poppy seeds, you can use another filling (thick jam or fruit preserves, a mix of dried fruits, or fresh apples). The main thing is that the dough is fasting-friendly and turns out light and soft.
