Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.

  2. Add the flour and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix until the dough comes together.

  3. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.

  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

  5. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  6. Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a smooth round ball.

  7. Arrange the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each roll.

  8. Cover the rolls with a kitchen towel and let them rise for an additional 30 minutes.

  9. Brush the risen rolls with the beaten egg, ensuring they are evenly coated. Sprinkle poppy seeds on top for added flavor and texture, if desired.

  10. Bake the Waterford Blaas in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.

  11. Remove the rolls from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

  12. Enjoy the freshly baked Waterford Blaas with butter or your favorite toppings!
