Ingredients:
For the bread—300 ml kefir (a fermented milk drink similar to buttermilk), 1 egg, 1 tbsp sugar, 1 heaping tsp baking soda activated with vinegar, flour to make a soft dough
Additionally—1 cup poppy seeds, 3–4 tbsp sugar, 3 tbsp honey, 1 cup boiling water
Mix the ingredients to form a soft dough (softer than dumpling dough). Shape it by hand into a rectangle about 8 by 10 inches. Bake at 375°F (190°C) until golden brown.
Rinse the poppy seeds, soak them, and grind them together with the sugar. Cut the dough into small pieces (about 1 inch by 1 inch), pour boiling water over the pieces, and cover with a lid to steam—the dough should not be too wet. Add the honey and poppy-seed mixture, and mix well. Adjust the amount of honey or sugar to taste.
