1. In a mixer bowl dissolve quick-rising dry yeast and sugar in warm water and let it stand 

until the mixture is slightly foamy.

2. Attach the dough hook to the mixer and turn to speed 2, add milk, oil, 

egg, sugar, poppy seeds and salt.

3. Mix well until everything is combined - 

about 30 seconds.

4. Gradually add flour to the batter and mix it until its

5. Combine flour and chilled butter in a food processor or you can use a 

pastry cutter until the mixture resembles a coarse 

meal add this to the batter in the mixing bowl.

6. Turn to speed 2 and mix until the dry ingredients 

are incorporated.

7. Knead on speed 2 until smooth, 

about 2 minutes longer.

8. Add up to 1/3 of a cup of flour more if the dough remains sticky.

9. Remove the bowl from the mixer and cover with a towel and 

let it rise in a warm place for 30 minutes 

or until the dough nearly doubles 

in size.

10. Now coat 2 12-cup muffin tins with non stick 

cooking spray or butter.

11. On a floured surface knead dough for about 4 minutes until the 

dough is smooth and elastic.

12. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and place one portion 

on a floured surface and refrigerate 

the remaining portions.

13. Roll out the dough to a 12x12x1/8-inch rectangle.

14. Cut the dough lengthwise into 6 2-inch strips and stack the 

strips to form 6 layers.

15. Cut the stacks into 6 equal portions, each about 2 inch squares.

16. Place each stack on their edge, cut side down in the prepared

 muffin cups. Repeat with the

 remaining dough sections.

17. Cover with a towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for 

30 minutes or until nearly doubles in size.

18. After it has risen preheat your oven to 350 F.

19. Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter 

and sprinkle with poppy seeds.

20. Pop in the oven and bake for 25 minutes.

In Provo there is a bakery that we love, Shirley's and they have the best pull-aparts.  

I am not going to make sweet rolls for 

dinner tomorrow but will 

make these Poppy Seed Pull-Aparts  

instead.  

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!
