August 4, 2015 at 2:31 pmHow far in advance can they be prepared. Could they be prepared on the 24th and cooked on the 26th. Thanking you in advance.

August 4, 2015 at 2:33 pmYou could assemble them in advance and store tightly wrapped without any issues. However, the poppy seed-mustard shouldn’t be applied until just before baking.

May 16, 2018 at 6:21 pmWhat would be a good replacement for the poppy seeds? Would sesame seeds work?
Melissa says
May 16, 2018 at 9:07 pmIf you choose to use sesame seeds I wouldn’t use as many. Otherwise, leave them out.
