Preparation steps
For the dough, mix flour and dry yeast in a bowl. Add remaining dough ingredients and knead with dough hook of hand mixer until smooth. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 30-40 minutes until the dough doubled in bulk.
With a floured rolling pin, roll out dough in a thin layer on well-greased baking sheet, pushing dough along sides of pan to form an edge.
For the filling, separate eggs. Mix egg whites until stiff. Heat milk in a pot and bring to a boil, then whisk in semolina. Stir in poppy seeds, sugar and lemon zest. Whisk in egg yolks and stir mixture well, then bring to a boil, stirring once. Pour into a bowl and let cool completely, then fold in egg whites and almonds.
Spread poppy mixture over dough. Bake in preheated oven at 200°C (fan: 180°C, gas mark 3-4) (approximately 400°F), 30-35 minutes. To serve, dust with powdered sugar and cut into pieces.
