This recipe make about 16 pieces.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup milk
1/2 tbsp yeast
1 egg (+ 1 for egg wash)
1/4 cup sugar + 1 tbsp sugar
4 cups flour + 1 tbsp flour
1/4 cup butter (57g)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cup poppy seeds
2/3 can condensed milk
At first activate the yeast. Combine warm milk, yeast, 1 tbsp sugar and 1 tbsp flour. Mix and let it rest for 10 minutes. Add the yeast mixture to the mixing bowl. Add sugar, warm melted butter, egg, flour, vanilla and salt. Kneed the dough. Cover the dough and let it proof in the warm corner of your kitchen until it doubles in size. For about 1.5 hours.
To make the filling…
Pour boiling water over the poppy seeds so the water covers them completely. Let them sit in the water for 10 minutes. Drain the water and rinse them under cold water. Transfer the poppy seeds to a small pot and add condensed milk. Let it simmer until most of the liquid disappears. Let the filling cool down completely before using.
Dust some flour onto the working surface. Roll out the dough in rectangular shape to about 1/4 of an inch thick. Spread the poppy seed filling evenly. Roll the dough over itself until you will get one long tube. Slice the roll into 16 even pieces.
Transfer to a baking tray lined with a silicon mat. Cover and let it rest for 15 minutes. Brush some egg wash and bake at 375F for 25-28 minutes.
