Nut and Poppy Seed Roll ( Hedeg Kelet)

From Goldie again at Hope Lodge. I hope I spelled the Hungarian name of the recipe right; it was in little print. She says roll thick. Again, help from anyone on these would be GREATLY loved since I have never done Hungarian cooking before. Just learning Czech for my sweetie Rudy and this seemed very close, and poppyseed is his favorite. Show more
