These days it seems most people consider "bitter" to be bad, so many poppy seed recipes are very sweet - to the point of diminishing the poppy flavor and obscuring its characteristic bitterness. Common bitters that most people appreciate are in coffee, dark chocolate, and even many micro-brewed beers. If you appreciate these foods, there is a good chance you'll like a poppy seed roll! With all this emphasis on the bitter, you might begin to think that there isn't any sweetnes at all - but you'd be wrong. We use pure cane sugar (not beet sugar or any version of corn syrup) to carefully balance the bitter-sweet combination. You'll have ample opportunity to taste the poppy seed since each and every roll is made with more filling than dough!
