Another nostalgic thing. In school cafeterias and local bakeries, poppy seed rolls in sticky chocolate glaze were inexpensive and sold out instantly. But they were rarely baked at home — poppy seeds were in short supply. Now, buying poppy seeds is not a problem, but I don't want to bake them. The recipe is simple, although it requires an approach: poppy seeds, in order to turn them from individual grains into a monolithic filling, need to be soaked overnight in two, or better yet, three waters — pour boiling water over them, drain and soak again. And lean dough is tasty only if it is fresh — it quickly dries out and hardens. Therefore, you won't be able to bake rolls for a week in advance and eat them carelessly: before you start baking, calculate exactly how many pieces you will eat at once, how many you will leave for the evening, and how many will survive until the morning.
