Sweet Flower Bread

A great idea to form a flower-shaped sweet bread, a bit more artistic, but at the same time very simple - don't be scared, it's all trivial and fast (I don't have time to spend too much time in the kitchen either!)

You can use the sweet leavened dough as you like, just roll and form the flower cake as in the steps below. You can also use cinnamon, cranberries, raisins or cocoa instead of poppy seeds, or others that will lead your imagination.

Very good looking, tasty and sensational - the cake is served hot or cold, best broken into pieces.

Step 3

Do not add all the flour at once - first put only 300g, mix with a spoon and see if the dough is not too sticky.

If you need to add a little more, it should be enough to remove it on the table and knead - but not too hard and dense.

Step 4

Sprinkle some flour on the table and take the dough out of the bowl, slowly and with the help of flour, knead a soft dough (maybe a little sticky, but better that way than too hard).

About 2-3 slices away, one of them turns backwards - towards the center of the roll.
