Measure out 500 grams of semolina flour.

Prepare yeast by combining 1 package of active dry yeast, 200 milliliters of warm milk, and 1 teaspoon of sugar; stir and set aside for 5-10 minutes.

Make a well in the semolina flour and sprinkle 1 teaspoon of salt around the edges.

Pour the prepared yeast mixture into the well.

Add 1 egg white, 1 whole egg, and 2 tablespoons of sour cream to the mixture.

Mix together using a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5-10 minutes until the dough separates from the sides of the bowl.

Divide the dough into six equal parts and flatten each piece into a long oval shape.

Make slits for legs, horns, and hands on the dough shapes.

Prepare an egg wash by beating together the leftover egg yolk and 2 tablespoons of milk.

Brush the tops of the shaped dough with the egg wash.

Decorate with raisins or dried cranberries for eyes, red pepper for tongue, and sprinkle with poppy seeds.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the shaped dough on it.

Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for about 18 minutes.

Remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack, covering with a cotton cloth to cool.
