👨‍🍳 作り方

1. 1

   Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, combine the warm milk, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and the active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until frothy.

2. 2

   Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining sugar, salt, and poppy seeds.

   💡 プロのコツ: Ensure poppy seeds are evenly distributed.
3. 3

   Combine wet and dry ingredients: Pour the activated yeast mixture and vegetable oil into the dry ingredients. Mix with a spoon until a dough forms. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 3-4 minutes until smooth. The dough may be slightly sticky.

4. 4

   First rise: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

5. 5

   Shape the bread: Punch down the dough. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a thin strand (about 0.5 cm in diameter). Cut the strand into small pieces.

   💡 プロのコツ: Alternatively, you can roll the dough into a rectangle, spread with a poppy seed filling (if making a sweet roll variation), and roll it up like a jelly roll.
6. 6

   Second rise: Arrange the pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between them. Cover and let rise again for 20-30 minutes.

7. 7

   Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Whisk together the beaten egg and 1 tablespoon of milk for the egg wash. Brush the tops of the bread pieces. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
