Add the flour and poppy seeds, then continue to mix together until it forms a smooth dough.Step 3
Tip the dough onto a lightly floured worktop then, using your hand, press the dough down to compact it so it becomes tight and smooth without any air pockets or cracks. Form the mixture into a log shape, wrap in cling film and place in the fridge for an hour.Step 4
