Rolls
Description
Delicious baked treat for the whole family. According to Christmas tradition, godchildren present their godparents with "vecherya"—two braided buns filled with candies. The godchild should say to their godparents: "Good evening! Holy evening! My father and mother send their regards and ask you to accept our vecherya!" In return, the godparents exchange one of the buns and give a gift to the godchild. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.

1. In a small bowl, mix the yeast, sugar, and warm milk; set aside for 10 minutes. In another large bowl, combine the flour with salt. Add the butter, cut into small pieces and softened, along with the yeast mixture to the flour. Knead the dough and let it rise for an hour in a warm place. After an hour, roll out the dough to a thickness of half a centimeter.

2. Brush the rolled-out dough with honey, then sprinkle the entire surface with poppy seeds. Roll the dough into a log and shape it into a ring on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Seal the ends well. Cover with a towel and let it rest for 15 minutes. Then, using a sharp knife, make slashes on the surface of the ring. Beat the egg yolk with a whisk (add a spoonful of water) and brush the mixture over the surface of the ring.
