Ingredients

• 300 g Whole wheat flour
• 7 g Instant dry yeast
• 60 g Erythritol sweetener
• 150 ml Warm milk
• 50 g Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tsp Salt
• 150 g Poppy seeds
• 100 ml Milk
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 1 large Egg yolk, for brushing

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, instant dry yeast, and 30g of erythritol sweetener.

Step 2

Add the warm milk, melted unsalted butter, one egg, and salt to the dry mixture and stir until a dough forms.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic, adding a little flour if necessary.

Step 4

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 60 minutes or until doubled in size.

Step 5

While the dough is rising, prepare the poppy seed filling. In a small saucepan, combine poppy seeds, the remaining 30g of erythritol sweetener, milk, and vanilla extract.

Step 6

Cook the poppy seed mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool.

Step 7

Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 8

Spread the cooled poppy seed filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border along the edges.

Step 9

Carefully roll the dough up from the longest side into a log shape. Pinch the seams and ends to seal.

Step 10

Place the roll on a parchment-lined baking sheet and cover it with a cloth. Allow it to rise for an additional 30 minutes.

Step 11

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 12

Brush the top of the roll with the egg yolk for a glossy finish.

Step 13

Bake the roll in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 14

Remove from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
