Instructions

1) Activate the yeast

  1. Pour the warm milk into a small bowl.
  2. Stir in the yeast and let it sit for about 5 minutes, until foamy.

2) Make the dough

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt.
  2. Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and eggs.
  3. Mix until a soft dough starts to come together.
  4. Stir in the poppy seeds.

3) Knead

  • Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 8–10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.

4) First rise

  1. Lightly grease a clean bowl and place the dough inside.
  2. Cover with a clean kitchen towel.
  3. Let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until doubled in size.

5) Shape the buns

  1. Punch down the dough to release trapped air.
  2. Divide into 12 equal pieces.
  3. Shape each piece into a round roll.
  4. Arrange in a greased baking pan or muffin tin, leaving a little space between buns.

6) Second rise

  • Cover again and let the shaped buns rise for 30–45 minutes, until puffy and doubled.

7) Prepare the egg wash

  • In a small bowl, whisk together 1 egg and 1 teaspoon water.

8) Bake

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Brush the tops of the buns with the egg wash.
  3. Bake for 15–20 minutes, until golden brown and the buns sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.

9) Cool and serve

  • Move the buns to a wire rack and let them cool before serving.

Enjoy your freshly baked poppy seed buns.
