Poppy Seed Buns

Submitted by Oparu

"This is a variation on a honey sesame bread recipe that I have. Since I ran out of sesame seeds and had a lot of poppy seeds in the kitchen, I made a substitution that turned out quite good. The amount of poppy seeds in the recipe actually create a bit of a crunch when you eat this bun. It's good with just a little butter."
