Ingredients:
10 g dry yeast
100 ml warm water
250 ml kefir (or substitute soured milk)
1 egg
3 tbsp sugar
50 ml oil
0.5 tsp salt
500 g (or a bit more) flour
1 egg yolk for brushing the rolls
Filling:
3 eggs
0.5 tsp salt
fresh herbs (parsley, dill, green onions)
3 tbsp oil
Preparation of the Filling:
Boil the eggs, peel them, and chop them finely.
Mix them with the oil, salt, and chopped herbs.
Preparation of the Rolls:
Dissolve the yeast in 100 ml warm water, add 1 tablespoon sugar, and let it sit for 10–15 minutes until a frothy layer forms.
In a large bowl, pour in room-temperature kefir, add the oil, egg, 2 tablespoons sugar, salt, and the activated yeast mixture, then stir gently. Gradually add the sifted flour and knead into a soft, tender dough.
Cover the bowl with a towel and let the dough rise for 1–1.5 hours, until it doubles in size.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead it well.
Shape the dough into round rolls and place them on a parchment-lined, greased 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 for 20–25 minutes at 180°C (350°F).
Brush the hot rolls with oil.
Another filling option for the rolls is feta cheese mixed with dried herbs—shape that filling into rectangles!
