Roll recipe for poppies from seeds

 

Ingredients:

• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 package (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup warm milk (110°F/45°C)
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons poppy seeds

Directions:

1. Prepare the dough:

   • Dissolve the yeast in the warm milk in a small bowl. Let it rest until foamy, about 5 minutes.
   • In a large bowl, mix the salt, sugar, and flour.
   • Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and eggs to the dry ingredients. Stir until a dough starts to form.
   • Add the poppy seeds and knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes.

2. First rise:

   • Grease a bowl, place the dough in it, and cover with a clean kitchen towel.
   • Let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 to 1 1/2 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 piece into a round roll.
   • Place the rolls in oiled baking pans or muffin tins.

4. Second rise:

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

5. Create the egg wash:

   • Whisk together the water and egg in a small bowl.

6. Bake the buns:

   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
   • Brush the top of each roll with the egg wash.
   • Bake the buns 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 buns from the oven and let them cool on a rack before serving.
