Yield: 12
Ingredients: 500 g all-purpose flour; 200 g butter (cold); 1 egg; 50 g granulated sugar; 15 g fresh yeast; 150 ml milk (lukewarm); pinch of salt; 300 g ground poppy seeds; 200 g sugar; 50 g raisins; 50 g breadcrumbs; 300 ml milk; zest of 1 lemon (finely grated); 1 packet of vanilla sugar; 1 egg yolk

Preparation of the starter and dough Dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm milk with 50 g of sugar. Let stand for 10–15 minutes until it starts to bubble. Sift the flour into a bowl, add the butter cut into cubes and work it in with your fingers until it forms a crumbly texture. Stir in the egg, a pinch of salt and the risen starter. Knead until you have a smooth, non-sticky dough. Divide into 3 parts, shape into balls, cover with cling film and let rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Preparing the poppy seed filling Scald the raisins in hot milk and let them swell for 5 minutes. Bring the remaining milk to a boil with the sugar and vanilla sugar. Add the poppy seeds, breadcrumbs, lemon zest and raisins. Stir for 1–2 minutes until the mixture comes together, then let it cool completely.

Filling and rolling Roll each ball into a rectangle 3–4 mm thick. Spread a third of the poppy seed filling over the dough, leaving a 1 cm border free. Fold the longer edges inward by about 1 cm, then roll the dough tightly from the shorter side. Place the strudels on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and prick the surface with a fork.

Final proofing and baking Let the strudels proof for 15–20 minutes. Brush with the egg yolk and leave for another 15–20 minutes at room temperature. Preheat the oven to 170 °C and bake for 30–35 minutes until the strudels are golden. After baking, let cool completely before slicing into pieces.
