Mix a bit of warm milk with 1 teaspoon of sugar, the yeast, 1-2 tablespoon of flour and we leave to raise it for a few minutes.
Place the dry ingredients in a bowl, (flour, salt, vanilin sugar and sugar) and mix them well
Add the yeast mix to the bowl, 1 beaten egg and mix it well with the spatula while adding the rest of the warm milk and melted butter
Oil the working surface a bit and kneed the dough a bit. Shape it to a round ball and place it to rest in a warm area for about 1 hour.
Kneed it a little again by folding the dough and rolling a dough to form an elongated shape.
Cut it to 10-12 equal sizes. Roll the dough to a ball then use a rolling pin to roll it out flat. Round it up from one side, forming long "batons". (sticks?)
Place them on the pan and let them rest for another 20 minutes
mix one egg yolk with a little bit of milk and brush it on the batons. Add some poppy seeds on top
bake it for 20-25 minutes, at 180°C until nice and brown
while still hot, brush it with the mix of 1 tablespoon of honey and 1 tablespoon of water. Let it cool.
