Ingredients

Wheat Flour - 1½ kg
Milk - 7 fl oz
Butter - 7.1 oz
Sour Cream - 14.1 oz
Egg white - 2 pieces
Salt - a pinch
Dry yeast - 1 tablespoon
Hazelnut - 14.1 oz
Sugar - 2 tablespoons

Step by Step guide

Step 1

For the dough, add 3 tablespoons of warm water to the dry yeast and let it sit for 10–15 minutes (if you want the yeast to rise quickly, place the glass in a deep bowl of hot water).

Step 2

Warm the milk, melt the butter, and combine them. Add the sour cream, egg whites, sugar, and salt. The mixture should be warm because it is a yeast dough (if the mixture is cold, place it over low heat and stir for a while until it slightly warms up). Then add the yeast. Finally, add the flour and knead the dough well. Place the dough in a warm place to rise for about 1 hour.

Step 3

Meanwhile, prepare the filling. To do this, roast the hazelnuts until golden to make them easier to peel. Add sugar to the peeled nuts and grind them.

Step 4

Divide the risen dough into small balls and roll each out to a diameter of 12–15 cm. Place 1 tablespoon of filling on each and pinch the edges to form a crescent.
