Hungarian Walnut / Poppy Seeds Rolls { Bejgli }

The real thing doesn't look anything like what I took out from the oven haha!! My pastry was flaky unlike the traditional christmas treat. Whatever it is, I am happy with the taste! Also, surpsingly, I enjoyed the poppy seeds filling this time; which normally is not my first choice .

Recipe and detailed instructions here.
 

My notes:-
Poppy seed fillings, mix together:-
100g poppy seeds, grounded
50g honey
50g water, heat and add to honey before combing with other ingredients
a bunch of dried cranberries or raisins - soaked in water
some grated lemon peel

Mixture should not be too watery and should just be easily spread on dough
