Tips:

  • Activate the yeast properly: Always check the expiration date of your yeast before using it. For active dry yeast, proof it in warm water with a bit of sugar for 5-10 minutes before adding it to the dough.
  • Use fresh poppy seeds: Fresh poppy seeds have a better flavor and texture than old ones. If you can't find fresh poppy seeds, you can toast them in a pan over medium heat for a few minutes to bring out their flavor.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will result in a tough, dense bread. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Let the bread rise in a warm place: The ideal temperature for rising bread is between 75-85°F (24-29°C). If your kitchen is too cool, you can place the dough in a warm oven with the light on.
  • Bake the bread until it reaches an internal temperature of 190°F (88°C): You can check the bread's internal temperature with a meat thermometer.
  • Brush the bread with glaze while it's still warm: This will help the glaze soak into the bread and give it a shiny crust.
