Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g All-purpose flour
- 250 ml Milk
- 50 g Granulated sugar
- 100 g Unsalted butter
- 7 g Instant dry yeast
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tsp Salt
- 150 g Poppy seeds
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tbsp Water (for egg wash)
Instructions
Warm the milk (not too hot, approximately 100°F/37°C) and dissolve the sugar and yeast in it. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the frothy milk mixture, egg, and melted butter. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for about 6 minutes.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. Grind the poppy seeds using a spice grinder or mortar and pestle. In a small saucepan, heat the honey, 50 ml of water, and vanilla extract until combined. Stir in the ground poppy seeds, then remove from heat and let cool.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle (about 1/4 inch thick).
Spread the poppy seed filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Starting from one long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seam to seal.
Cut the log into 12 even pieces and place them cut-side up in a parchment-lined or greased baking dish, leaving a bit of space between each roll.
Cover the rolls with a towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes, or until puffed up.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Prepare the egg wash by whisking together the egg and water.
Brush the tops of the rolls with the egg wash. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature.
