Steps:
- To Make the Filling: Grind the poppy seeds. You may use a mill or grinder, or grind it in several batches in a coffee grinder. Grind them for 1 - 2 minutes or until they are cracked and become darker and oily looking.
- Mix together the milk, butter, sugar, vanilla, salt, rum, lemon juice, lemon zest, and cinnamon in a saucepan, and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring, for about 10 minutes, then remove from heat and cool.
- To Make the Dough: *This recipe calls for instant yeast. If you are using regular dry yeast, mix it with part of the lukewarm milk and let it sit for 10 minutes to rehydrate. Add with the milk to the dry ingredients and proceed as usual. If you wish to use fresh yeast, use a cake (20 - 30 grams) and dissolve in the milk prior to mixing with the flour.
- Mix the flour, instant yeast*, sugar and salt in a bowl. Melt butter and milk together, cool to lukewarm.
- Add the milk, butter and egg to the flour and work (mix, then knead) it into a smooth dough. Knead for about 5 minutes, then form it into a ball, dust it with flour and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 400°.
- To Form Braided Rolls: Divide dough in half, then cut each into six equal pieces each.
- Roll out each piece to about 2 by 6 inches on a lightly floured surface. Place about 2 tablespoons of poppy seed filling down the center of each piece, lengthwise. Fold the dough lengthwise around the filling and pinch closed to form a rope. Roll this rope a little longer by rocking it back and forth with your hands.
- Twist two filled ropes together and then form them into a ring, pinching the ends closed so that the ring does not untwist in the oven.
- Repeat to make six rolls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Mix the egg yolk and water together, and brush it over the rolls. Sprinkle poppy seeds on top.
- Bake the rolls as soon as you finish making all of them (no further rise) for 25 to 30 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 350° after 5 - 10 minutes baking time, and turn the baking sheet about half-way through for even baking.

Tips:
- Use fresh poppy seeds: Fresh poppy seeds have a better flavor and texture than old seeds. If you can't find fresh poppy seeds, you can toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring constantly, until they are fragrant and golden brown.
- Grind the poppy seeds finely: Grinding the poppy seeds finely will help them to release their flavor and oil. You can use a food processor, blender, or mortar and pestle to grind the seeds.
- Use a warm, draft-free place for the dough to rise: The dough will rise best in a warm, draft-free place. You can place the dough in a warm oven with the light on, or in a sunny spot in your kitchen.
- Don't overproof the dough: Overproofing the dough will make the rolls dense and heavy. The dough is ready to bake when it has doubled in size and springs back when you press it gently with your finger.
- Bake the rolls until they are golden brown: The rolls are done baking when they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
