   Whisk the yeast into the flour with the dough sugar and salt. Add the warm milk and egg yolks and mix to a shaggy dough.

2. 2

   Knead in the softened dough butter a piece at a time, then knead for 8-10 min, until smooth and elastic.

3. 3

   Cover the dough and leave in a warm place for 1 hour, until doubled.

4. 4

   Bring the filling milk to a boil in a saucepan and stir in the poppy seeds. Add the filling sugar, honey, filling butter, raisins, walnuts and candied orange peel and cook for 1 min. Cool completely.
