Lay a sheet of dough open on a board or plate and brush with butter.

Place a horizontal band of filling on the dough and roll it up like a sausage and twist it into a snail shape, place on baking paper, continue with the rest, forming a circle with the sausages.

Mix the yolk with the rest of the butter and brush it over, sprinkle with poppy seeds.
