Dough:
In an electric mixer in a warm bowl (you can rinse it in hot water): mix together yeast, milk, mixer and eggs, Add 2 cups of flour. Continue to beat adding slowly the flour. When dough start to be a little thick, change to the hook beater and continue to add more flour.
Knead until you get elastic and smooth dough. Grease bowl, turn the dough over to grease top. Cover and let it rise in a warm place about an 1 hour.
While the dough is rising in peace and quiet, prepare the poppy seed filling. Cook over low heat, stirring, until mixture boils and thickens, (about 10 minutes). Cool to room temperature.
NOW the last step:
Punch down the dough and knead again in the electric mixer, Butter 10"x15" baking pan and place the dough in center. Cover
and let rest for about 10 minutes.
Pat with you hands the dough and shape it to fit pan. Cover evenly with the poppy filling and then with the streusel topping. Cover again with a cloth and again (what can you do?) let it rise just for another 20 minutes. Not more.
Streusel Topping:
Bake in preheated 375°F hot oven for 30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a rack.
