A Delicacy

Ammonites are a delicious bun made with poppy seed flour and goats milk, baked in a spiral shape. They are refreshingly fragrant, said to leave one almost lighthearted with joy. Originating in Eastern Europe, their popularity is now world-wide. Set aside an entire day to make these delicacies.

Ammonites

Oven 350 degrees, 35 minutes

4 cups poppy seed flour
1 cup goats milk
2 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon yeast + 1/2 cup water 110 degrees
1/2 cup poppy seeds
1 stick goats milk butter

Mix yeast with water and let it develop. Stir together salt and flour. Stir together goats milk and eggs. Stir yeast mixture into egg mixture and gradually stir in flour, mixing with hands. Form a ball of dough and let it rise until doubled. Knead; the dough will emit a faint squeaking sound. Let rise for one hour. Punch it down and knead until the squeaking resolves into a low moan of resignation. Let rise for one hour. Take small handfuls of dough and roll into 8" lengths. Coil into a spiral shape on a baking sheet. Brush buns with goats milk butter, sprinkle with poppy seeds, and bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes or until brown. Enjoy.
