Poppy seed pastries
Description
The pastry is simple and quick to prepare. This easy recipe for poppy buns made with yeast dough takes very little time. Use high-quality instant yeast to make the pastry light and fluffy.

Step 1
1. To prepare the dough, dissolve the yeast with sugar in warm milk. Meanwhile, melt the margarine or butter and let it cool. In a deep bowl, combine the milk, margarine, beaten eggs, and mix well. Gradually add the flour, kneading until you get an elastic dough that does not stick to your hands. Be careful not to add too much flour, otherwise the poppy seed buns will turn out tough when made at home.
