Michi’s Poppy Seed Rolls

Mix 1,500 g flour, the yeast packet, the sugar, lemon zest and salt well, add the egg. Melt 75 g butter in a saucepan and add 200 ml milk, heat it up a little and add to the flour. Now work everything into a nice dough. Leave in the bowl and cover with a damp cloth, let rest for an hour in a warm place.

Then knead the dough briefly and simply roll it out with a rolling pin. Now brush the dough with the poppy seeds. Now we cut the dough in 2 halves so that it can be rolled better. Now we cut about 3 to 3.5 cm slices and place them on the baking sheet which we first covered with baking paper and in the meantime have preheated the oven to 200 ° C (convection: 180 ° C).

Now bake in the preheated oven for about 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown. After the baking time, take the snails out of the oven. Mix 5 tablespoons of powdered sugar in a cup with a little lukewarm water and brush the snails with it. Enjoy warm or cold.
