Preparation time: 30 minutes
Rising time: 1 hour
Baking time: 25-30 minutes
Total: 1 hour and 30 minutes
Number of servings: 12 rolls
Necessary ingredients:
- 2 cups of flour
- 200 g butter (divided into two portions)
- 2 tablespoons of oil
- 5 eggs (3 yolks and 2 whites)
- 2 and a half cups of milk
- 1 tablespoon of yeast
- 1 cup of sugar (divided into two portions)
- 200 g poppy seeds
- 2 tablespoons of breadcrumbs
- 1 packet of vanilla sugar
- salt (a pinch)
Step by step:
1. Start by warming the milk in a pot, being careful not to let it boil. It is essential that the milk is warm to activate the yeast.
2. In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in two tablespoons of warm milk. Let it sit for a few minutes to activate.
3. Sift the flour into a deep bowl and make a well in the center. Here, pour the yeast mixture, one cup of warm milk, and a pinch of salt.
4. Begin kneading the dough, gradually adding the oil and half of the melted butter. Then, incorporate the three yolks and continue kneading until the dough becomes elastic and smooth.
5. Finally, fold in the two beaten egg whites with half of the sugar. This step will add a fluffy texture to your rolls.
6. Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and let it rise in a warm place for one hour.
7. Meanwhile, prepare the filling: in a pot, mix the remaining milk with the remaining sugar and vanilla sugar. Add the breadcrumbs and poppy seeds, then simmer on low heat, stirring continuously until thickened. Once the mixture is homogeneous, remove it from heat and stir in the remaining butter, letting it cool.
8. After the dough has risen, knead it gently again and divide it into four pieces. Roll each piece into thin sheets.
9. On each sheet, spread a layer of filling. Roll the sheets tightly and bend them to form circles, making sure to seal the ends well.
10. Place the rolls in a buttered baking tray. Brush them with beaten egg yolk and sprinkle poppy seeds on top for an appetizing look.
11. Bake the rolls in a preheated oven at 180°C for 25-30 minutes, until golden and fragrant.
12. Serve the poppy seed rolls warm, alongside a fragrant tea or a glass of milk. They are perfect for breakfast, dessert, or a delicious snack!
Useful tips:
- Use high-quality butter for a richer taste.
- You can replace the poppy seeds with ground nuts or a combination of both for an interesting flavor.
