👨🍳 Instructions
Bloom the yeast in warm water with a little sugar until foamy.
Mix in flour, poppy seeds, oil, and salt, then knead until the dough feels smooth and elastic.
Let the dough rise, roll it into thin ropes, and cut the ropes into small bite-size pillows.
Bake the kuciukai until dry and lightly golden, then cool before serving with poppy milk.
