- Preparation: 105 min
- Cooking: 18 min
- Makes: 1 serving (93 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegetarian
- Contains: dairy, egg, gluten
Ingredients
- 50 g Flour, bread (strong)
- 15 g Milk, whole
- 15 g Water
- 1.2 g Yeast, fresh
- 3 g Butter, unsalted
- 0.5 g Malt extract
- 0.3 g Salt
- 4 g Egg (for brushing)
- 4 g Poppy seeds
Method
- Dissolve the yeast and malt extract in the lukewarm milk and water.
- Add the flour, salt and soft butter and knead for 10 minutes into a smooth, firm dough. Cover and leave to rise for 45 minutes.
- Divide the dough into pieces of about 75 g, one roll each. Divide each piece into three and roll them into thin strands about 20 cm long.
- Plait the three strands into a small, tight braid and pinch the ends together. Set the braids on a tray lined with baking paper.
- Brush them with beaten egg, then press the tops into a plate of poppy seeds so they are thickly coated. Cover and leave to rise for 30 minutes. Heat the oven to 220 °C.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown, with a small tray of water on the oven floor for the first 5 minutes for a crisp crust.
- Cool on a rack. They are best eaten the same day, with butter.
