This poppyseed bread roll is absolutely divine. The bread is soft and fully and the filling is nutty and just a little sweet making it very easy to eat and perfect with a cup of tea or coffee. The dough is very easy to work with and though some of the filling oozed out when I rolled it up there was plenty to make a very lovely looking swirl inside with a nice soft crunch as contrasting texture.
