Description

These poppy seed wreaths are a real eye-catcher on any breakfast table, especially at Easter! The fluffy yeast dough harmonizes wonderfully with the aromatic poppy seed filling. I have been baking them since my childhood and they are always a highlight. The preparation is a bit more complex, but the result is worth it. The rum in the filling gives the wreaths a special touch. If you like, you can add some more lemon zest. They taste delicious both warm and cold!
