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.
💡 Wskazówki profesjonalistów: 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
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.

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.
