Mix yeast and luke warm (max 37° C / 98° F) water in a large bowl. Add salt and honey and stir. Now add the flour and stir a few times, but don't work the dough too much. The dough should be soft and moist.
Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and leave it to rise for 1.5-2 hours. You want it to double in size.
Heat the oven to 250° C / 480° F.
Pour the dough out of the bowl and onto the kitchen table, lightly floured. Don't work the dough. Cut the dough into 8 equal size rolls and place them on an oven pan with parchment paper.
Brush the rolls with eggwash, and sprinkle liberal amounts of poppy seeds on them.
Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes until golden.
Remove from the oven and let the rolls cool off for 30 minutes.
