How to make Kifli(Macedonian Style)

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil offers a dairy-free option with a similar texture.

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt provides creaminess with fewer calories.

walnuts

🥗Healthier: almonds

💰Cheaper: pecans

Almonds can be a healthier nut choice while pecans are often less expensive.

apricot jam

🥗Healthier: fruit preserves

💰Cheaper: any fruit jam

Fruit preserves maintain sweetness and flavor with less sugar.

Mix yeast with warm water and sugar in a bowl; let sit until frothy, about 5-10 minutes.

Combine flour and salt in a large mixing bowl.

Add oil and mix until combined.

Stir in milk and the yeast mixture until dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, about 5 minutes.

Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Roll out the dough into a large circle and cut into triangles.

Place a piece of hot dog on each triangle; sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.

Roll each triangle from the wide end to the point, forming a crescent shape.

Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Beat an egg and brush over the tops of the rolls for a golden finish.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.

Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
