Overview The dough is typically made with flour, egg, water and washed poppy seeds. The poppy seeds are may be ground in a makitra. It is then baked in an oven and topped with a honey-poppy seed mixture.
The dough for the shulyky was made lean because there was a two-week fast on Spas.
History A similar dish of unleavened bread with honey and poppy seeds is mentioned in the Deeds of Theodosius of Pechersk, dating from the 12-13th century.
