For 8 portions

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour (approx. 260 g)
100 g butter (softened)
1 egg
4 tablespoons (heaped) sour cream
1 teaspoon baking soda

For the filling:

150 g ground poppy seeds
4–5 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Preparation procedure

Dough preparation In a bowl mix the all-purpose flour with the baking soda and a pinch of salt. Add the softened butter, the egg and the sour cream. Quickly work into a smooth, non-sticky dough. If it is too stiff, add a little sour cream; if too soft, sprinkle in a bit of flour.
Filling preparation In a small bowl, mix the ground poppy seeds with the sugar and cinnamon.
Shaping the strudel Roll the dough into a rectangle about 3–4 mm thick. Spread a little sour cream evenly over one half of the dough, whisk an egg for the other half and brush the dough with the egg.
Filling and rolling Sprinkle the poppy seed mixture onto the spread part, leave an unfilled edge (about 1 cm) and roll the dough over the filling. Seal the seam by pressing with your fingers.
Baking Carefully transfer the roll to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the surface with the remaining egg and bake in an oven preheated to 180 °C (convection 160 °C) for about 25 minutes until golden.
Serving After removing from the oven let the strudel cool slightly, then slice. Serve warm or cold; they can be lightly dusted with powdered sugar.
