Instructions
Step 1
Preparation
Step 2
Add sugar and yeast into warm water, stir until yeast dissolves. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel, leave it in a warm place for ~15-20 minutes, until the yeast foams.
Step 3
Sieve 250 g (2 cups) flour into a separate big bowl, pour the yeast mixture, add salt, mix well. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and leave it again in a warm place for 30-40 minutes, until the dough rises.
Step 4
When the dough is ready, add all the poppy seeds. Then add as much flour until the dough will barely stick to your hands, but still remain soft and will be easy to knead (don’t add too much flour, that your cookies wouldn’t be too hard). Form a ball from the dough, put it in a bowl, sprinkle with a little bit of flour and cover with a kitchen towel. Leave to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, until the dough ball doubles in size.
Step 5
Take a small piece of the dough, twist it in a string (the string should be an index finger thickness) and cut it into small pieces (about 1 cm thickness). Since Christmas Eve cookies swell a lot while baking, I suggest to cut them in a small pieces. If you cut in large pieces, you’ll get buns). That’s how form all the Christmas Eve cookies.
Step 6
Lay down a sheet of parchment paper on the oven tray, put the cookies. Leave ~2-3 cm (~1 inch) between cookies. Bake them in a preheated 180 C (350 F) oven for ~15-17 minutes. You should get about 2 large oven trays.
Step 7
Leave your cookies at room temperature for a couple of days, then they will harden.
Step 8
Iš tešlos rutulio imame po nedidelį gabalėlį, jį susukti į virvelę (virvelė turi būti bevardžio piršto storio) ir supjaustome mažais gabalėliais (~1 cm storio), nes kūčiukai kepdami išsipučia. Jei supjaustysite per dideliais gabalėliais, gausis bandelės. Taip suformuojame visus kūčiukus.
Step 9
>> Jei nenorite saldžių kūčiukų, galite dėti mažiau cukraus. Aš mėgstu saldesnius kūčiukus, tad 7 šaukštai cukraus buvo pats tas.
