Poppy Seed Buns
Soft Poppy Seed Buns with a Golden Crust
Ingredients:
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 packet active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup warm milk (110°F/45°C)
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 egg
2 tablespoons poppy seeds
1 egg yolk (for egg wash)
1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)
Directions:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
Add the warm milk, melted butter, and egg to the dry ingredients.
Mix until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal portions.
Shape each portion into a bun and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Cover the buns with a towel and let them rise again for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and water to create an egg wash.
Brush the tops of the buns with the egg wash and sprinkle with poppy seeds.
Bake the buns for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Allow the buns to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
