Poppy-seed strudel. This poppy seed strudel recipe showcases the distinctive taste of poppy seed filling that is so popular in European sweets rolled inside a yeast dough crust. Unlike many recipes, this one does not skimp on the poppy seed. This is not like wimpy poppy seed muffins or bagels that really use the fragrant seed only for some added color or texture.
Tuck in the edges of the ends of the dough roll and place the strudel, seam-side down, on a buttered baking sheet.
Then add the remaining ingredients (butter, egg yolks, egg and lemon zest) and knead the dough until it is smooth and comes loose from the edge of the bowl.
Carefully slide strudel onto wire rack to cool slightly.
