Set aside to cool and prepare the poppy. Wash the poppy seeds and soak in warm water (50-60ºC).
Drain the water and transfer the poppy into a special clay pot with a conic abrasive bottom, called morcoteț [morko’tet͡s]. Add sugar and crush the seeds with a macagon [maka’gon] (a wooden pestle) until you obtain a milky mixture.
Break the flatbreads into smaller pieces and soak in this milky poppy mixture.
Enjoy!
