A Delicious Pastry Recipe That Will Amaze You

Activate the Yeast: In a bowl, combine lukewarm milk and sugar. Sprinkle the dry yeast over the top and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the activated yeast mixture, egg, and salt. Gradually add the flour, starting with 550g and adding more as necessary, to form a soft dough.

Knead the Dough: Once the dough comes together, knead it on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Let It Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a damp cloth. Let it rise for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

Roll Out the Dough: After the dough has risen, punch it down to release any air. Roll it out into a large rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.

Spread Butter: Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough. Then, fold the dough into thirds, like a letter, and roll it out again into a rectangle. Repeat the folding and rolling process twice more.

Shape the Pastries: Cut the dough into desired shapes, such as squares, triangles, or strips. Arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Prepare the Egg Wash: In a small bowl, beat together the egg yolk and 1 tbsp milk. Brush the egg wash over the tops of the pastries.

Top with Poppy Seeds: Sprinkle poppy seeds generously over the pastries for a beautiful, flavorful touch.

Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the pastries for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown and puffed.
