Poppy seed Dinner Rolls

3 tablespoons sugar

7 gram dry yeast

345 gram all-purpose flour, plus more

200 ml warm milk

Pinch of salt

3-5 tablespoons butter, melted

3 tablespoon poppy seeds

In a large mixing bowl put warm milk, yeast and sugar; mix all together and leave to stand in a warm place for 10 minutes. Add in melted butter and salt.

Gradually add flour to the yeast mixture, stir until a dough forms. Then turn the dough onto lightly floured surface and knead for 10 minutes or until smooth. Place dough into clean greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap and leave it in the warm place to rise, about 45 – 60 minutes.

Punch the dough down and then turn onto floured surface. Roll out dough into 30×25 cm rectangle, sprinkle with poppy seeds.

Beginning with a long side, roll up dough in a roll and cut into 10 equal slices. Place slices, with a cut side up, on the greased baking tray. Cover and let it rise until doubled, for about 30 minutes.

Bake rolls in the 180 degrees C preheated oven for 15 – 20 minutes or until golden. Cool for 5 minutes on a wire rack. Serve warm.
