Place Red Star Platinum yeast and sugar in a large mixing bowl.
Mix melted butter and milk in a small bowl. The mixture should feel warm to the touch, but not burning hot.
Pour over yeast/sugar and stir to combine.
Mix in salt and egg.
Mix in flour a little bit at a time until the dough comes together. If the dough still feels very sticky, you can add a little bit extra flour.
Turn out onto a floured board and knead for five minutes.
Divide dough into 12 pieces.
Roll each piece into a small log, sprinkle the log with poppy seeds, and tie into a knot.
Place knots in a circle around the perimeter of a 9 1/2" oven-safe skillet. Set aside while you make the dip (the rolls need to rest for ten minutes before baking).

Bake for 15 minutes or until the rolls are lightly browned on top.
Topping Instructions
In a small bowl, mix lemon juice and melted butter.
Brush lemon butter over the tops of the rolls.
Distribute lemon zest and Parmesan evenly over the rolls.
