Poppy Seed Rolls

Directions

1. Place the poppy seeds in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Let soak for 1 hour.
2. Stir together milk, sugar, shortening, and salt. Stir until shortening melts. Cool mixture to lukewarm. Mix yeast with 2 cups flour; mix into milk mixture. Stir in eggs. Work in enough of the remaining flour to make a moderately stiff dough. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead until smooth. Place in a well oiled bowl, and turn to coat the surface. Cover, and let rise until doubled in size.
3. Drain poppy seeds well, and put through the finest blade of a grinder 3 times. Cream butter or margarine and honey. Add cream, and stir in poppy seeds, nuts, raisins and grated peel. Add more cream if necessary to spread thinly over dough.
4. Deflate dough, and divide in half. Roll each half to a 12 x 8 inch rectangle. Spread with poppy seed filling. Roll up, jelly-roll fashion, from long edge. Slice each into 12 pieces, and place cut side down in greased 9 inch round cake pans. Let rise until doubled in bulk.
5. Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 18 to 20 minutes.

"i used my bread maker to make the dough, and used a can of poppy seed filling, to which i added some walnuts, orange peel, and some cream. i agree, the filling ingredients look wrong - i think the bes..." See moret bet would be to add cream until you get a good spreading consistency (which is what i did with the canned filling) but i'm afraid not enough people read the comments before making the recipe. i think the 16 hours 40 minutes might include time for the dough to rise - i read another recipe, and they recommended letting the dough rise in the refrigerator overnight, which could explain the long time."
