-
In a small saucepan, combine milk, butter, 1/2 cup sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring until butter is melted and sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and cool to lukewarm.
-
In a small bowl, dissolve active dry yeast in 1/2 cup warm water. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lukewarm milk mixture, yeast mixture, 2 beaten eggs, and vanilla extract.
-
Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
-
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 6 to 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
-
Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning once to coat the top with grease. Cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap.
-
Let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
-
Punch the dough down to release air bubbles. Let rest for 5 minutes.
-
On a floured surface, roll the dough into a 12x18 inch rectangle.
-
Spread the poppy seeds evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border on all sides. Sprinkle 1 cup of chopped walnuts over the poppy seeds.
-
Starting with the long side, tightly roll up the dough into a log. Pinch the edges to seal.
-
Place the roll on a large greased baking sheet, seam side down. Curve the ends slightly to form a crescent shape.
-
Cover and let rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Beat the remaining 1 egg with 1 teaspoon of water. Brush the egg wash over the top of the risen roll.
-
Bake for 30 minutes, or until golden brown.
-
Cool on a wire rack.
-
Drizzle with confectioners sugar icing and sprinkle with the remaining chopped walnuts before serving.
