- Butter (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- 1 each Egg yolk (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- 1 tablespoon Cold water (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- Poppy seeds (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
Instructions
- 1On a lightly floured surface, roll the well-risen bread or kuchen dough into a square sheet, about 1/4 inch thick.
- 2Spread the rolled dough with melted butter. Cut the dough into 6-inch squares. Then, cut each square in half diagonally from corner to corner, creating two triangles. Roll each triangle from the longest side towards the opposite corner to form a crescent shape.
- 3Place the crescent rolls on floured or greased baking pans, leaving space between them. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and cold water. Brush the tops of the rolls with the egg wash and sprinkle with poppy seeds.
- 4Let the rolls rise in a warm place until doubled in size. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crusty.
