Poppy Seed Wreaths - Austrian 'Mohnkranzerl'

Austrians are great at baking goods with yeast, and this is one of my  favourite. I love having it for breakfast and or snack.

Ingredients:

Dough-

4  cups flour 

2 tsp instant yeast

60 g sugar 

1 egg, beaten

100 g butter, melted 

pinch of salt

1 cup warm milk

Divide into 16 (around 60 g each)

Filling-

(I used ready made, canned filling)
200 g poppy seeds, grounded
1/2 cup milk
80 g sugar
1 tsp vanilla
zest of 1/2 lemon
pinch of cinnamon
1 tbs rum
sultanas or citrus peel (optional)
Glaze-
1 egg beaten
poppy seeds (optional)
Method: 
Filling-
Cook all ingredients for 10 minutes, let it cool.

Dough-

Make a soft dough (by hand, mixer, or bread machine). After rising, divide into 16 pieces. Roll each into a

long strip (20 X 4 cm).  Fill with poppy seed mixture; pinch edges together and roll between your hands and 

working surface to stretch it more . Wrap 2 of prepared logs around each other, then cut into 2. Shape each 

into a circle and place it onto lined baking sheet. You'll get 16 wreaths. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle 

with poppy seeds (optional)

Bake 20 min on 180*C, or until golden brown. Freezable!

Tijesto-
Umijesite (rucno, mikserom ili uz pomoc masine za kruh / hljeb) glatko mekano tijesto. Nakon nadolazenja, podijelite na 16 jednakih dijelova i svaki razvaljajte na trake 20 X 4 cm. Filujte sa makovom masom; stisnite krajeve zajedno i jos malo razvaljajte blago istezuci. Uvrnite po dva zajedno, zatim presijecite na pola. Stisnite krajeve svake, formirajuci krug. Postavite na papirom pripremljenu tepsiju. Dobicete 16 komada. Premazite svaki vijenac sa jajetom i pospite makom (ako zelite). Pecite oko 20-ak minuta, ili dok ne postanu zlatno-zute. Mogu se zamrznuti!
