Ingredients
Instructions
- Dissolve yeast in warm water.

- Stir in sifted flour until a dough forms.
- Grease a bowl and place the dough inside.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, you can substitute half of the milk with cream or add a teaspoon of vanilla extract. If you're out of poppy seeds, you can use finely chopped walnuts or almonds for the filling. Ensure the dough is in a warm spot while rising, as this helps it to double in size more effectively.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this roll ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough ahead and let it rise in the refrigerator overnight. Just remember to bring it back to room temperature before shaping and baking. This method allows for great flavor development.

If you have active dry yeast, you can use it instead; just ensure you activate it in warm water first. Alternatively, you can use instant yeast without proofing, but adjust the liquid slightly if needed.
Can I add other fillings to this roll?
