In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Mix well.
Heat the milk gently until it is warm but not hot. Add the melted butter and lightly whisk in the eggs. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients.
Mix the dough until it starts coming together, and then knead on a floured surface for 7-10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours or until doubled in size.
Meanwhile, prepare the filling. In a small saucepan, combine the poppy seeds, chopped walnuts, honey, milk, and vanilla extract. Heat gently over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air and roll it out into a rectangle about 12x18 inches (30x45 cm).
Spread the cooled poppy seed and nut filling evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a 1-inch (2.5 cm) border around the edges.
Carefully roll the dough from the longer side, forming a log. Pinch the seam to seal the roll and tuck in the ends.
Place the roll seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover loosely with a kitchen towel and let it rest for 20-30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and water to create an egg wash. Brush this over the surface of the roll.
Bake the roll in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let the roll cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
Serve slices warm or at room temperature, and enjoy!
