Instructions
Stand Mixer Directions
In the mixer bowl, add the flour, salt, milk powder, sugar and yeast.
Add the water and oil to the center, and stir until the dough begins to come together, then add the poppy seeds.
Knead for about 10 minutes until the dough is smooth.
Place the dough in an oiled bowl, and cover.
Let the dough rise for about an hour – it should double in volume.
Punch down the dough, then turn out onto a floured surface.
Divide dough into 3 roughly equal pieces, and roll each into a rope (about 12 inches long).
Braid the ropes, and tuck each end underneath the loaf.
Put the loaf onto your baking sheet, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes.
Heat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Combine the egg yolk, milk and sugar and brush gently over the top of the loaf.
Sprinkle with poppy seeds.
Bake for 30 minutes – until golden brown.
Cool completely before cutting.
Devour.
