Instructions

Step 1

Preparing the Dough

Mix warm milk with yeast, add 1 tablespoon of sugar and a little flour from the total amount, then mix and leave in a warm place until frothy.
Add butter, sugar, flour, and a pinch of salt. Knead the dough until smooth, either by hand or using a mixer with a dough hook.
Place the dough in a warm area for 1.5 hours.

Step 2

Preparing the Filling

Soak the poppy seeds in boiling water for 10 minutes, then drain and dry the seeds.
Blend the poppy seeds with sugar using a blender.

Step 3

Assembling and Baking the Snails

Roll out the dough into a thin sheet and spread with melted butter.
Spread the poppy seed filling over the dough, roll it into a tight log, then cut into rings.
Place each ring on a baking sheet, cover with a towel and let rest for 15-20 minutes.
Brush with beaten egg and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

Variations

Want to enjoy these poppy seed snails but have dietary restrictions? We've got you covered! 🎉

Gluten-Free Version: Swap out the regular flour for a gluten-free flour blend. Ensure the blend includes xanthan gum for elasticity. Follow the recipe as usual but keep an eye on the dough’s texture.

Vegan Version: Substituting the milk with almond milk or any plant-based milk of your choice works wonderfully. Replace the melted butter with coconut oil or vegan butter. Skip brushing with egg and use a mixture of plant-based milk and maple syrup for a glossy finish.

Faq

  • How do I know when the dough has risen enough?

    The dough should double in size. This typically takes about 1.5 hours, but timing can vary based on room temperature.

  • Can I use fresh yeast instead of dry yeast?

    Yes, you can use fresh yeast. You'll need about 21 grams (0.75 ounces) of fresh yeast. Dissolve it in warm milk as described in the recipe.

  • What if my dough is too sticky?

    If your dough is too sticky, add a small amount of flour gradually, mixing until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.

  • Can I prepare the dough the night before?

    Yes, you can prepare the dough and let it rise in the refrigerator overnight. Just bring it to room temperature before rolling it out.

  • How can I make sure my poppy seed filling is smooth?

    Ensure you blend the poppy seeds with sugar thoroughly. Using a coffee grinder can help achieve a finer texture.

  • What's the best way to store leftover snails?

    Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, freeze them in a zip-top bag for up to a month.
