Slovak Christmas Eve Bobalky

Submitted by Jane from Ohio

"This recipe came from my grandmother to my mother and me. I always had a hard time finding the finely ground poppy seed that looks black. The stores here have poppy seed but it is not finely ground and it is grey in color. I even tried to re grind it in the food processor to no avail. I decided to try the Solo brand poppy seed. It worked out wonderful and I didn't have to cook it. I also use the frozen rolls instead of baking the braided bread. It tastes the same"

I haven't made this, but we called this opekansa[sp???]. I haven't had this for many years. My mom used the ground poppy seed. So delicious.
