• Versatile: Perfect for breakfast, a snack, or as a dinner side, these rolls are incredibly versatile.

Ingredients:

For the Dough:

• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
• 1 cup warm milk (110°F/45°C)
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp salt

For the Filling:

 

• 1/2 cup poppy seeds
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Glaze:

• 1/4 cup milk
• 2 tbsp honey

How to Make Soft and Fluffy Poppy Seed Rolls:

1. Prepare the Dough:
   • In a small bowl, combine warm milk and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and eggs. Mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
2. Prepare the Filling:
   • While the dough is rising, mix the poppy seeds, sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract in a small bowl.
3. Shape the Rolls:
   • After the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a floured surface. Roll the dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Spread the poppy seed filling evenly over the dough. Roll the dough up tightly from the long side, then cut into 12 even pieces.
4. Second Rise:
   • Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover with a damp cloth, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
5. Bake:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
6. Glaze:
   • While the rolls are baking, heat the milk and honey together until the honey is dissolved. Brush the warm rolls with the glaze right after they come out of the oven.

Tips:

• Proofing Environment: Ensure your kitchen is warm enough for the dough to rise properly. If needed, use your oven’s proofing setting or place the dough in a warm spot.
• Rolling Technique: Roll the dough tightly to ensure the filling stays inside the rolls.
• Extra Fluffiness: For extra soft rolls, let them rise until they are visibly puffed and nearly doubled in size before baking.
