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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the frothy milk mixture, egg, and melted butter. Mix until a dough forms.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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).

Step 7

Spread the poppy seed filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 8

Starting from one long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seam to seal.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Cover the rolls with a towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes, or until puffed up.

Step 11

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Prepare the egg wash by whisking together the egg and water.

Step 12

Brush the tops of the rolls with the egg wash. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 13

Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature.
