This gluten-free poppy seed roll is a delicious treat. It’s made with a yeasted whole-grain dough and a rich butter and poppy seed filling. Unlike most GF treats, it stays fresh for up to a week!
This is based on a recipe that Max found in one of our favorite cookbooks. Over time, I adapted into a gluten-free recipe and adjusted the filling to suit our taste. But I only decided to formally write down the recipe after his fourth time making it! He loves it that much.
