Buns with poppy seeds

1 We prepare all the necessary ingredients.

2

Let's prepare the dough.
Heat the milk a little, dissolve the yeast and 1 tablespoon of sugar in it.

3

Add 250 g of flour, mix until smooth.

4

Leave the dough to rise in a warm place for 30-40 minutes.

5

Beat eggs with sugar and salt. Add softened butter.

6

We combine everything with the dough. Gradually add the remaining flour and knead into a soft dough.

7

Cover the bowl with the dough with cling film and place in a warm place for 1 hour.

You can leave the dough in the refrigerator overnight and bake the buns the next day.

8 My filling was already ready. But you can do it yourself. To do this, you need to pour boiling water over the poppy seeds one to one and steam for an hour. Drain the water through a sieve or using gauze. Transfer the strained poppy seeds into a bowl, add sugar and puree the mixture with an immersion blender. If you don’t have a blender, then pass the poppy seeds through a meat grinder a couple of times, then add sugar.

9

Place the risen dough on a table sprinkled with flour. Roll out into a rectangle approximately 30x60 cm.

10 Spread the poppy seed filling in a thin layer over the dough layer.

11 Visually divide the dough into 3 parts and fold the edges of the layer towards the center.

12 Press down lightly.

13

Cut into strips, approximately 3 cm wide.

14 We twist each strip 3-4 times in a spiral.

15 We connect the ends of the strips.

16 Place the pieces on a baking sheet at a distance from each other.

17

Bake the buns in an oven preheated to 200°C for 25-30 minutes.

Bon appetit!
