These poppy seed buns are perfect for dipping into some creamy tomato soup, or eating as toast with jam.
I love how poppy seeds make a dish look great! These buns are so adorable.
Because of yeast shortages in these COVID-19 times, I've opted out for double acting baking powder. It's quicker and honestly easier.
When you're making this dough, I recommend mixing it in a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment.
The dough hook will help you out a ton! There's a lot of dough to knead, so it's a little hard to do by hand.
Hope you enjoy making these poppy seed buns. They both taste and look delicious!
