Ukrainian Christmas Poppy Seed Roll Makovyi Knysh

Now I never use poppy seeds and this recipe got me thinking that I should start and play around with this fun little seed. This bread sounds simple to put together and one loaf would be more than plenty to share at a table whether you are hosting or are looking to bring the host something to share with everyone. These fun recipes are great if you are looking for holiday potluck ideas to share with everyone, you could even put a few of these together for lots of great holiday activities: gift baskets of edible goodies, church functions, potluck parties, donation ideas, school fundraisers.

Another great bread for sharing this one is a little more detail focused than our last poppy seed option. This one will take a little time and love and would be a beautiful centerpiece everyone can admire and eat. This beautifully braided bread looks hard but they do a great job at explaining how to pull it off and as long as you follow and take your time it will go great.
