Instructions:
-
Activate the yeast:
In a small bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy. -
Mix the dough:
In a large bowl, whisk the flour, salt, and poppy seeds. Add the yeast mixture, egg, and melted butter. Stir until a sticky dough forms. -
Knead and rise:
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 8–10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size. -
Shape and second rise:
Punch down the dough and divide it into 4 equal portions. Shape each into a smooth ball and place each ball into a greased ramekin. Cover and let rise again for 30–40 minutes. -
Bake:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the tops of the risen dough with egg wash (egg yolk mixed with milk). Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and the tops sound hollow when tapped.ADVERTISEMENT
