Honey Poppy Seed Roll Bread
From ancient times, the collection of honey and poppy in russia began on the same day - august 14 (which happens to be my birthday!), the day of the first savior, first day of the harvest season! . This day was celebrated with honey cakes, pancakes with poppy and honey, buns and pirogues with poppy seeds. Special pancake dipping was made of finely grinded poppy seeds and honey. If poppy seeds were sprinkled around the house on that day, house would be protected from evil eye for the whole year. Girls used to weave poppy flowers into their hair in order to make hair strong and beautiful.
