German Yeast Poppy Seed Roll Mohnstriezel, also known as Mohnstriezel, is a traditional German pastry, often served during Christmas or Easter. It is a delicate sweet bread that is rolled with a flavorful poppy seed and almond filling. The poppy seed filling is a classic feature of German baking and is loved for its rich and nutty flavor. The yeast dough is made with simple ingredients and is easy to work with. It requires patience as it needs to rise twice, once with the yeast and again after rolling. The end result is a warm, freshly baked roll that pairs well with butter, jam, or honey. Enjoy this pastry for a special treat with your family and friends.
