Ingredients

 
1/2 tablespoon active dry yeast
 
1 tablespoon warm water (105°-115°F)
 
1-2 cups flour
 
1/2 teaspoon salt
 
1/3 cup sugar
 
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
 
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
 
1 tablespoon warm milk (105°-115°F)
 
1 egg, separated
 
1 egg yolk, beaten with 1 tablespoon water
 
Filling
 
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
 
1 tablespoon honey
 
1 tablespoon cream
 
1/3 cup poppy seeds
 
2 tablespoons chopped candied orange peel
 
1/4 cup chopped almonds

Directions

1 Dissolve yeast in warm water. Set aside for 5 minutes. Combine 1 1/2 cups flour, salt, sugar, and orange peel in mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly.
2 Stir in yeast mixture, butter, warm milk, and egg yolk. Mix thoroughly.
3 Add enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth€”about 10 minutes.
4 Place in greased bowl, turning to coat top. Cover; let rise in warm place until double€”about 1 hour.
5 Prepare the poppy seed filling: cream butter and honey together in small mixing bowl. Add the cream, poppy seeds, orange peel, and almonds. Mix thoroughly.
6 Punch down dough. Roll the dough into a rectangle 6x12 inches. Beat egg white until it forms stiff peaks. Fold egg white into poppy seed mixture.
7 Spread the poppy seed mixture evenly on the dough, leaving a 1-inch border all around. Roll up the dough jelly-roll style; pinch sides and ends to seal. Place on greased baking sheet.
8 Cover; let rise in a warm place 30 minutes or until double. Brush egg-yolk mixture on loaf. Bake in a preheated 350°F oven 30€”40 minutes or until done. Cool on wire rack.
