This poppy seed-filled bread with its bright citrus flavors makes an 
elegant addition to any brunch.

Tips: Lemon-scented icing is a tasty final touch. Combine 1 cup 
(113g) confectioners' sugar, sifted; 1 tablespoon milk or heavy 
cream; 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla, stirring 
until smooth. Drizzle over the baked/cooled bread.

Note: *Substitute 1 cup (227g) packaged poppy seed filling mixed with 
2 to 3 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice, if desired

PREP: 35 mins
BAKE: 28 to 32 mins
TOTAL: 2:43
YIELD: 1 large loaf

To make the filling: Place all of the filling ingredients in a small 
saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. 
Once the mixture thickens remove it from the heat. Transfer it to a 
small bowl or storage container and refrigerate while you make the dough.

To make the dough: In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, lemon juice, 
egg and egg yolk, yeast, lemon zest, and sugar.

Stir to combine, then add the salt, flour, and butter. Mix and knead 
until a soft, smooth dough forms, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cover and 
let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.

To shape the bread: Gently deflate the dough and roll it into a 
rectangle 30" long and 6" wide.

Spread the filling over the dough, leaving 1/2" of one long edge 
uncovered. Roll the dough toward the uncovered edge and pinch the 
seam to seal it.

Line a large baking sheet (e.g., a half sheet pan) with parchment. 
Grease the outside of a 2" to 2 1/2" metal biscuit cutter and place 
in the center of the pan. Mark the dough in 1" increments.

Using unflavored dental floss, slice the dough by placing it under 
the log, crossing the ends over your mark, and pulling until the 
floss slices through the dough.

Place the dough slices around the greased cutter, just barely 
touching, in two concentric circles. Depending on the exact size of 
the slices and the size of your pan, you'll probably have some slices 
left over. Layer them on top of the circles for a two-tier loaf; or 
simply bake them separately, in a round cake pan.

Cover with greased plastic and let rise for 40 minutes, until puffy 
looking. While the dough is rising, preheat the oven to 350F.

When the dough is ready, uncover it and brush the top lightly with 
the egg wash.

To bake: Bake the bread for 28 to 32 minutes, until golden brown all 
over. Remove from the oven and cool on a rack.

Store the bread, well wrapped, at room temperature for a couple of 
days; freeze for longer storage.
