3. With Kitchenaid mixer, beat the eggs. Add milk mixture, sugar, and salt. Slowly add 4 1/2 cups flour (1/2-1 cup at a time) until blended then mix on setting #2 for 8 minutes. Dough should be tacky, not too floury; save 1/2 cup flour for rolling.

Place dough on cloth, pat and roll out (square) to 1/4-1/3 inch thick. Cover with wax paper, let sit 10 minutes (should be soft and airy). Use pizza cutter to cut 3x3 square. Fill with heaping spoonful of filling. Bring opposite corners together and pinch to secure. (For roliche: Pat and roll out 12 inch cirlces 1/4-1/3 inch thick. Slice into pie pieces. Starting at wide end, roll tightly, pinch corner into middle. Brush with 1 beaten egg and sprinkle with poppy seeds.) Cover with wax paper and let raise 10-12 minutes on stove.
