Ah, another of the favorites that my grandmother used to make is Poppy Seed Roll.
The Poppy Seed Roll is a Hungarian traditional pastry that is a sweet bread known as Beigli that is often prepared for the holidays such as Christmas. Beigli [pronounced BAY-glee] is a Hungarian sweet bread with special fillings. Growing up in Northeastern Ohio, we ate a lot of European recipes thanks to my grandmother who if she were alive today would surely be FAMOUS for her RECIPES!
My grandmother was an amazing cook who prepared dishes and desserts that I will always treasure. Another one of grandma's favorites to prepare is the Poppy Seed Roll. I can honestly say that I miss her as I'm sitting here writing this lens to commemorate another of her favorite recipes.

Beigli :: Hungarian Sweet Bread -- Pastry Roll
Beigli is an authentic Hungarian pastry roll that is often served for Christmas. It is sweet and has many varieties of fillings, the most common of which are poppy seeds and walnuts.
Hungarian Poppy Seed Roll Recipe :: Beigli
2 1/4 tsps of traditional active dry yeast (1 package)
1/4-1/2 cup milk
1 tsp granulated sugar
1/4 cup luke warm milk
4 cups all purpose flour
1/3 cup + 1 tbsp icing sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 sticks of unsalted butter
3 egg yolks
Walnut puree filling: 1 2/3 cup of ground walnut; 1/2 cup sugar; 2-3 tsp of grated lemon rind; 1/4 cup water
Poppy Seeds filling: 2/3 cups poppy seeds, grind well; 5 tbsp sugar; 1/2 tbsp honey; 1/4 tsp + 1/2 tsp grated lemon rind; 1/2 tbsp +1/4 tbsp+1/4 tbsp apricot jam
Directions:
Dissolve the yeast and granulated sugar in 1/4 cup of lukewarm milk. Set aside for 10 minutes until the liquid forms a foamy mixture.
Combine the flour, icing sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Cut in the butter. Mix well.
Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and egg yolks. Mix gently, gradually adding 1/4 to 1/2 cup milk until the dough can be formed into a ball. Cover with a cloth and let rise until doubled in size (2 hours).
Grind the walnuts and poppy seeds separately.
Mix the ingredients for the two fillings separately in a medium saucepan and simmer over a low heat for 15 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from the stove and allow to cool.
Divide the dough into two halves and roll each half on a floured surface into 12x18 inch rectangles. Spread the nut filling on one rectangle and the poppy seed filling on the other, leaving a margin of at least an inch on all edges.
Turn up the sides to prevent leaking and roll the beigli lengthwise to form two 12-inch rolls. Brush the tops of the rolls with egg whites, poke a few holes in them with a fork.
Bake at 350°F for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown. --www.wikihow.com.

Poppy FAQs
False positive drug tests: Although the drug opium is produced by "milking" latex from the unripe fruits ("seed pods") rather than from the seeds, all parts of the plant can contain or carry the opium alkaloids, especially morphine and codeine. This means that eating foods (e.g., muffins) that contain poppy seeds can result in a false positive for opiates in a drug test.
A poppy is any of a number of showy flowers, typically with
one per stem, belonging to the poppy family. They include a number of attractive wildflower species with showy flowers found growing singularly or in large groups; many species are also grown in gardens. Those that are grown in gardens include large plants used in a mixed herbaceous border and small plants that are grown in rock or alpine gardens.
The flower color of poppy species include: white, pink, yellow, orange, red and blue; some have dark center markings. The species that have been cultivated for many years also include many other colors ranging from dark solid colors to soft pastel shades. The center of the flower has a whorl of stamens surrounded by a cup- or bowl-shaped collection of four to six petals. Prior to blooming, the petals are crumpled in bud, and as blooming finishes, the petals often lie flat before falling away.
