I was going thru the net for a nice poppy seed recipe. I saw this poppy seeds dinner rolls. The original recipe had eggs. But I just omitted the eggs because I don’t eat eggs. The result was great. I am sending this to CWS –Poppy Seeds hosted by
Cook Like A Bong and started by Priya of
Priya’s easy n tasty recipes.
The Recipe:
Ingredients:
Flour – 2 1/2cups
Yeast-2tsp
Sugar-1/6cup+1/8tsp
Salt-1tsp
Warm Water-1/2cup
Milk-1/3cup
Oil-1/8cup
Poppy seeds-1/2tbs
Butter (chilled)-1/2cup
Butter (melted)-2tbs
Poppy Seeds for garnishing
Procedure:
- Add yeast, 1/8tsp sugar and warm water. The water should be luke warm. If hot it will kill the yeast. Cover it and let it become frothy. If it didn’t become frothy just discard it and mix a new portion because the roll’s fluffiness depends on the yeast.
- Mix milk, oil, !/6cup sugar, 1/2tbs poppy seeds and salt.
- Add the yeast to it.
- Gradually add 1cup of flour and mix it till smooth.
- Mix cold butter and 1 1/2cups of flour with finger tips till the flour resembles bread crumbs.
- Add this to the batter and knead well to get a smooth dough.
- If the dough is sticky add 1tbs of flour and knead.
- Cover with a wet towel and let it rise for 30minutes or till the dough is double the size.
- Punch air out and knead it for another 2minutes.
- Divide the dough into 2 equal parts.
- Divide the half portion into 10 equal parts.
- Roll each ball into a 10cm*10cm square.
- Cut it into 3 strips and stack them.
- Cut it into two and keep them together in a greased muffin case.
- Repeat it for all the balls.
- I used the other half of dough to prepare a plaited roll and knotted roll.
- Cover with damp cloth and let it rise for 30minutes.
- After it is double the size brush the rolls with melted butter and sprinkle poppy seeds on top.
- Preheat oven to 200C. Bake the rolls for 25 minutes or till the top crust is golden brown.
- Serve hot with Tea or Coffee.
