For the dough:

- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup warm milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

To start, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast in a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the warm milk, melted butter, and egg. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough for 5-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover the dough and let it rest for 10 minutes.
While the dough is resting, prepare the filling by mixing the softened butter, sugar, poppy seeds, and lemon zest in a small bowl.
Roll out the dough into a rectangle shape and spread the filling evenly on top. Roll the dough tightly and cut it into 12 equal pieces. Twist each piece and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Let the twists rise for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F and bake the twists for 15-20 minutes until they turn golden brown.
To make the glaze, mix the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and milk in a small bowl. Drizzle the glaze on top of the twists and serve.
