Roll with poppy seeds and raisins

90 minutes
Poppy seed and raisin roll is a refined dessert of German cuisine that combines the rich nutty-spicy flavor of poppy seeds with the sweetness of raisins. This recipe traces back to Central European traditions where poppy seeds were often used in baking for their deep, slightly buttery taste. The thin, elastic dough is carefully rolled out to transparency, creating a delicate base for the rich filling. Raisins soaked in the warmth of the dough add juicy texture and a subtle caramel note. During baking, the aroma of cinnamon and butter fills the kitchen with coziness. This roll pairs perfectly with a cup of strong coffee or afternoon tea, offering a harmony of flavors and a tender crispy crust. The finishing touch is powdered sugar that transforms it into a true culinary masterpiece.
