10 g of dry yeast
100 ml of warm water
250 ml of kefir (can be substituted with sour milk)
1 egg
3 tbsp of sugar
50 ml of oil
0.5 tsp of salt
500 g (or a bit more) of flour
1 egg yolk for brushing the rolls
Filling:
3 eggs
0.5 tsp of salt
fresh herbs (parsley, dill, green onions)
3 tbsp of oil
Preparation of the Filling:
Boil the eggs, peel them, and chop finely.
Mix with oil, salt, and chopped herbs.
Preparation of the Rolls:
Dissolve the yeast in 100 ml of warm water, add 1 tablespoon of sugar, and let it sit for 10-15 minutes until a frothy layer forms.
In a large bowl, pour in room temperature kefir, add oil, the egg, 2 tablespoons of sugar, salt, and the activated yeast mixture, and stir gently. Then, gradually add the sifted flour and knead a soft, tender dough.
Cover the bowl with a towel and let it rise for 1-1.5 hours until it doubles in size.
Once the dough is ready, transfer it to a floured surface and knead it well.
Shape the dough into round rolls and place them on a greased parchment-lined baking tray.
Make a small cut in the center of each roll and fill it with just under a teaspoon of the filling, brush with egg, and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes at 180°C (350°F).
Brush the hot rolls with oil.
Another filling option for the rolls is feta cheese and dried herbs, shaped into rectangles!
