poppy seed roll
Speckled pastry spiral
A poppy seed roll is a sweet bread filled or topped with a paste made from ground poppy seeds, sugar, and often honey or butter.
Common in Central and Eastern European baking, it appears as a spiral-filled loaf or individual pastries: My grandmother always made poppy seed rolls for Christmas.
The filling has a distinctive nutty, slightly sweet flavor.
