Poppy Seed Roll (or Nut Roll)  [A Czechoslovakian Strudel Recipe]
Place 3 cups All Purpose Flour in a large bowl.  Crumble 1 cake compressed
yeast and add to flour.  Add 1/2 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon salt.  Scald 3/4
cup whole milk and cool. While milk is cooling, add 1/2 butter or margarine
to milk to soften.. When milk is lukewarm, add 1/4 cup warm water to it,
and add to dry ingredients. Mix all well.
Beat 2 eggs and add to milk and flour mixture.  Add 2 1/2 cups more flour,
first with spoon, then with hand.  When dough begins to leave sides of
bowl, turn it onto a lightly floured board and knead.
(Alternate:  3/4 cup milk, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 1/4 tsp salt, 1/2 cup
butter/marg.; combine & heat microwave until liquid - cool to lukewarm.  2
pkg. yeast dissolved in 1/3 cup water [C temp on package].  3 eggs, 5 1/2
to 6 1/2 cups flour add above and beat for approx 10 min.; let rise)
Allow dough to rise for 1 1/2 hours in a lightly greased bowl, turning once
to bring greased side up.  Leave it in a warm spot and cover with a damp
cloth. Punch dough down after 1 1/2 hours, pull edges into center and turn
over in the bowl.  Allow dough to rise for 30 minutes more.
Divide dough into four equal parts.  Work on each part separately, keeping
dough covered.  Roll dough into thin rectangular shape (No flour should be
required to roll out, since dough should handle easily).  Roll into 9 x 12
inch rectangle.  Spread with soft butter.  Spread one cup of filling on top
and roll rectangle.  Spread with soft butter.  Spread one cup of filling on
top and roll as for jelly roll.  Bake for about 30 minutes at 350 ! on
lightly greased foil placed on a cookie sheet. The four rolls should fit on
the cookie sheet.
Nut Filling: To make the nut filling, use 1 pound ground walnuts mixed with
1 cup sugar.  For altenate filling use 1 pound poppy seeds &  sweeten to
taste with honey. With Solo brand poppy seeds, just add a little hot water
so its spreadable.
Alternates:  substitute honey for sugar;  add cinamon & raisens to
fillings.
Poppyseed and Honey Filling (Cooked): Combine poppyseed (large seeds should
be scalded, drained and pounded or put through food chopper, using fine
blade), liquid, honey, sugar and salt in a saucepan.  Cook over moderate
heat till thick, stirring to prevent scourching. Let cool before adding
eggs, beating in thoroughly. If the addition of eggs thins out filling too
much, return to heat and stir while cooking 1 to 2 minutes.
Variation 1:  Add 1/4 cup finely chopped almonds or other nuts.
Variation 2:  Add nuts and 1/4 cup curra ts or seedless raisins.
Variation 3:  Add 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon
rind.
