Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 0.75 cup Warm milk (110°F/43°C)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 Egg, lightly beaten
- 1 tablespoon Poppy seeds
- 2 tablespoons Butter, room temperature, for brushing
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and active dry yeast.
Step 2
Warm the milk to approximately 110°F (43°C) and add it to the dry ingredients. Mix well.
Step 3
Add the melted butter and the lightly beaten egg to the mixture. Stir until a soft dough forms.
Step 4
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Step 5
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Step 6
Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions.
Step 7
Roll each portion into a rope about 10 inches long, then tie it into a loose knot, tucking the ends underneath to form a bowknot shape.
Step 8
Place the bowknots on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Cover with a towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Step 9
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush each bowknot with room-temperature butter and sprinkle with poppy seeds.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the bowknots are golden brown and baked through.
Step 11
Remove from the oven and allow the bowknots to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
