Ingredients
- 4 cups flour
- 1 packet instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups warm water
- 1 cup crushed poppy seeds
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 100 grams butter (melted)

Method
- Place the flour in a mixing bowl, add yeast, sugar, and salt, and mix.
- Gradually add warm water to knead a soft dough and let it ferment for 45 minutes.
- Mix the melted butter, vegetable oil, and poppy seed paste in a bowl until smooth.
- Divide the fermented dough into four equal meringues and roll each out thinly with a rolling pin.
- Spread the poppy seed mixture over the rolled dough, roll it up into a log, and twist it to shape.
