Poppy Seed Roll Recipe

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough:

• In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm milk. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
• In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt.
• Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and eggs to the dry ingredients. Stir until a dough forms.
• Mix in the poppy seeds.
• Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes.

2. First Rise:

• Grease a bowl and place the dough inside. Cover with a clean kitchen towel.
• Let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

3. Shape the Rolls:

• Punch down the risen dough to remove air bubbles.
• Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape each into a round roll.
• Place the rolls in greased baking pans or muffin tins.

4. Second Rise:

• Cover the shaped rolls with a cloth and let them rise again for 30 to 45 minutes, until doubled in size.

5. Prepare the Egg Wash:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water.

6. Bake the Rolls:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Brush the tops of the rolls with the egg wash.
• Bake the rolls for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.

7. Cool and Serve:

• Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before serving.
