Preparation:

Stir in lukewarm milk yeast, 1 teaspoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of flour. Leave to stand for 15 minutes in a warm place next to the stove.
Put all the ingredients in a deeper bowl, add the yeast with lukewarm the milk, salt, and sugar and 1 tsp flour, which stood for about 15 minutes at room temperature. (you will not add flour yet)!
Knead the dough with a mixer first, gradually add the flour, when the dough has become firmer, transfer the work with a wooden spoon and beat the dough well.
The dough should not stick to the walls of the bowl. When the dough has become compact and smooth, cover the bowl with a cloth and leave the dough to rise at room temperature.
Let the dough rise 2 times for 40 minutes.
Divide the dough into two equal parts.
Roll out the dough with a rolling pin to a thickness of 4 mm.
Put the poppy seeds in a slightly deeper pan and add the milk little by little, it must not be a diluted mass, it should be thick!
In another pot, prepare a walnut filling, add all the ingredients for the filling and add a little milk or water and mix until you get a thick filling and a compact mixture.
Fill one noodle with poppy seeds and the other with walnuts.
Twist them into a roll, joining the ends so that the filling does not stretch outwards
Take a larger 35×45 cm larger pan and coat it first with butter and then sprinkle with flour on the pan and shake it a little to go in all corners.
Place the rolled strudels in a baking tray and coat with the egg yolk beaten with 1 teaspoon of water and brush the crusts.
Put the strudels to bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for about 20–25 minutes.
The strudel should turn brown and get a nice brown color and the dough should be well baked, you can check with a toothpick.
When the strudel done, cut it when it cools into thin slices.
