recipe for poppy seed bun

Eastern Europeans make a poppy seed roll under various names. It is a basic sweet dough with a poppy seed filling. I never put a glaze on it, but as with most other things, there are probably local variations. I have never seen this cut and then baked. I make it like I would cinnamon rolls but bake it whole; i.e., I roil out the dough, spread on the filling, roll up, and bake whole. As for the filling, you need a poppy seed grinder to make it properly. You can use a blender, but it is a poor substitute. I use canned filling sold under the Solo brand and find it quite acceptable and lots less work than making your own. You can often find it with the canned pie filling in the supermarket or you can order it online here:
