Mix the warm milk, warm water, yeast, and sugar, then let stand for 5 minutes.
Add the flour, yogurt, and salt, and knead a soft dough.
Cover the dough and leave it to rise for 45 minutes.
Melt the butter and mix it with the poppy seed paste and coarsely ground walnuts.
Divide the dough into two balls, roll each thinly, spread the poppy filling over the surface, and fold.
Transfer the folded dough to a tray and brush the top with beaten egg.
Bake the hapan ketesi at 185°C for 28 minutes until browned.
Rest for 10 minutes, then slice.
💡 Tip: Do not dust the dough heavily before spreading the poppy filling; a dry surface makes it harder for the layers to stick together.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Slice hapan ketesi while warm and serve it at breakfast or tea time with strong tea and optional white cheese.
