Preparation

Screen ON

Step 1

Use kefir of any fat content and refined odorless oil. I indicated sausages in grams; about 16 pieces is a good amount.

Step 2

Heat water to ~38°C (100°F), pleasantly warm but not hot. Pour into a large bowl for mixing the dough. Add sugar and yeast, stir, and leave on the table for 15 minutes.

Step 3

The yeast should activate and form a foam cap. If not, use another batch. Water temperature is crucial: too hot kills the yeast, too cold keeps it dormant.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, pour warm kefir. You can slightly warm it in a microwave or bain-marie. Add an egg and salt, whisk together. Wash eggs beforehand to avoid bacteria.

Step 5

Pour the kefir mixture into the yeast mixture and stir.

Step 6

Gradually sift in flour, mixing after each addition. Start with a fork, then knead by hand. Adjust flour amount as needed. The dough should be smooth, elastic, yet soft.

Step 7

Add vegetable oil at the end and incorporate. Dough will stop sticking to hands and pull from sides. Shape into a ball, cover, and place in a warm, draft-free place to rise ~1.5 hours, until doubled in volume.

Step 8

Punch down the dough, let rest 10 minutes. Work with half at a time if large.

Step 9

Roll the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle ~1.5 cm thick.

Step 10

Cut into 2 cm strips.

Step 11

Remove sausage casings. Wrap each sausage with a dough strip spirally. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment, leaving space between.

Step 12

Beat an egg yolk. Brush the dough on top with a pastry brush.

Step 13

Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (390°F) for 20-25 minutes, until golden.

Step 14

Let cool slightly and serve warm. Optionally, add sauces. Enjoy!
