Family recipe poppy seed rolls

Obligatory story: My Aunt Joanne used to make these for any gathering. She held the recipe close, always refusing to share it, I suspect because she sold them to people sometimes.

This isn’t her recipe. This is my mom’s reverse engineering of it.

Poppy Seed Rolls

Place in large bowl:

• 2 eggs (beat well)
• ¼ c. sugar
• 2 tsp salt
• 1/3 c. oil

Combine in separate bowl:

• ½ c warm water
• 2 envelopes yeast

Add to mixture in large bowl:

• 1 c hot water (from tap)

Then add yeast mixture

• Add: 5 c. flour

Stir mixture well with spoon (kneading is not necessary).

Let mixture raise till doubled.

Roll dough out on floured board.

Cut circles with glass.

Take circles of dough & roll into lengths approx. ½ width of baking dish to be used.

Roll these strips in melted butter & place in baking dish. (approx. 36-40 rolls needed to fill 9x12” pan).

Let rolls raise until doubled.

Bake at 325 for 30 minutes.
