Dissolve yeast in half the milk. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, sugar, salt, and butter with your hands. Mix remaining milk with the beaten egg yolks and yeast mixture. Add to dry ingredients. Work dough until smooth. Divide into 3 parts and form into balls. Let stand for 10 minutes then roll out to 1/2-inch thickness. Spread with poppyseed filling. Roll up like a jellyroll and place in well-buttered pan. Let rise for 2 hours. Brush top with beaten egg whites before baking at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes.
