Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Dust a sheet pan lightly with flour.
Step 2
Lay the puff pastry sheet on the pan. Spread poppy seed filling across it, leaving a 1-inch border on all edges.
Step 3
Roll the pastry tightly from the long side into a log. Place seam-side down and seal edges with your fingers.
Step 4
Whisk egg yolk with 1 tbsp water. Brush the entire roll with the mixture until glossy.
Step 5
Bake for 12–14 minutes until deep golden brown and puffed. Drizzle warm honey over the top immediately.

Let cool 5 minutes, then slice into 6 portions and serve.
