🧑🍳 Instructions:
1. Prepare the Dough:
- Dissolve yeast in a spoon of lukewarm sour cream with a pinch of sugar (if using dry yeast).
- In a bowl, mix flour, salt, and powdered sugar.
- Cut in cold butter using fingers or pastry cutter until crumbly.
- Add sour cream, egg yolk, and yeast mixture. Knead until smooth.
- Divide into 2 equal parts, wrap, and chill for 1 hour.
2. Make the Fillings:
- In separate saucepans, heat milk and sugar (for each filling).
- Stir in walnuts or poppy seeds.
- Add zest and optional ingredients.
- Cook gently until thickened, then cool completely.
3. Assemble:
- Roll out each dough into a rectangle (~30×25 cm).
- Spread filling evenly, leaving 1–2 cm around edges.
- Roll tightly like a jelly roll. Tuck in the ends.
- Place on parchment-lined tray seam-side down.
4. Finish:
- Brush rolls with egg yolk. Chill until dry (~30 min).
- Then brush with egg white. Chill again for 30 min.
- Poke small holes on top (to prevent cracking).
- Bake in preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 30–35 minutes, until golden.
5. Cool completely before slicing!
📝 Tips:
