Directions
Mohnschnecken
Preparing the Dough: - In a large bowl, mix the flour, dry yeast, sugar, and salt. - Add the lukewarm milk, melted butter, and egg. Knead until you get a smooth dough. - Cover the dough with a cloth and leave it in a warm place to rise for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
Preparing the Filling: - In a pot, heat the milk until it boils. Add the ground poppy seeds, sugar, vanilla sugar, honey, and semolina. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens. - Remove from heat and stir in the butter. Let the filling cool.
Forming and Baking: - Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle about 1 cm thick. - Evenly spread the filling over the dough. - Roll the dough starting from the long edge to form a roll. - Cut the roll into slices about 2 cm thick. - Place the slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving enough space between them. - Brush the slices with the beaten egg. - Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
