Ingredients:

  • 3 tbsp
  • 1 (1/4-oz) package active dry yeast (2 1/2 tsp)
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 cups bread flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 to 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten with 2 tsp water
  • about 1 tbsp poppy seeds

Directions:

  1. Make dough: Stir together warm water, yeast, and 1 tablespoon sugar in a small bowl until yeast is dissolved, then let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. (If mixture doesn't foam, discard and start over with new yeast.)
  2. Melt 3/4 stick butter in a small saucepan, then add milk and heat to lukewarm. Stir together yeast mixture, remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, butter mixture, bread flour, and salt in a bowl with a wooden spoon until combined well, then stir in 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, or enough to make a slightly sticky dough.
  3. Butter a large bowl. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface, kneading in more all-purpose flour as needed to keep dough from sticking, until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes (dough will still be slightly sticky). Form dough into a ball and put in buttered bowl, turning to coat. Let dough rise, bowl covered tightly with plastic wrap, in a draft-free place at warm room temperature until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
  4. Make rolls: Butter 18 muffin cups with remaining 2 tablespoons butter.
  5. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and divide into thirds. Working with 1 piece at a time (keep remaining portions covered with plastic wrap), cut off tablespoon pieces of dough and form pieces into balls. Put 3 balls into each buttered muffin cup. Let rolls rise, loosely covered with a kitchen towel (not terry cloth), in draft-free place at warm room temperature until almost doubled in bulk, 30 to 40 minutes.
  6. While rolls rise, put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 400°F.
  7. Brush rolls lightly with egg wash and sprinkle with seeds. Bake until golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve warm.
  8. Cooks' note: Rolls can be baked 1 day ahead and cooled completely, then kept, wrapped well in foil, at room temperature. Reheat in foil in a preheated 350°F oven 15 to 20 minutes.
