Lightly grease
two baking sheets with the oil. Sift the flour and
salt into a mixing bowl. Add the yeast. Make a well
in the centre and pour in the milk and the egg.
Gradually incorporate the flour and mix to a soft
dough.
Turn the
dough on to a floured surface and knead for 5
minutes until smooth and elastic. Cut into 12
pieces and shape into rolls.
Place the rolls
on the prepared baking sheets, cover loosely with a
large plastic bag (ballooning it to trap the air
inside) and leave in a warm place until the rolls
have doubled in size. Preheat the oven to
220'C/425"F/Gas 7.
Glaze the rolls
with beaten egg, sprinkle with poppy seeds and bake
for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
