Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 3 1/4 cups whole white flour
- 1 1/2 cups lukewarm water
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons instant dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, poppy seeds, and salt.
- In a separate small bowl, stir together the yeast and lukewarm water. Let it sit for a couple of minutes until it begins to froth.
- Add the yeast mixture to the flour mixture and mix with your hands until the dough is smooth. The dough should be sticky but not enough to stick to the bowl.
- Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a bun and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Let the buns rise again for about 30 minutes.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack.
Notes
Letting the dough rise properly is crucial for achieving the desired soft texture. If the dough is too sticky, adjust with more flour. These buns can be frozen after cooling; reheat in a hot oven for 5 minutes before serving.
