Ingredients
For the Dough:
- 650 g all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons natural yogurt
- 30 g fresh yeast or 1 packet active dry yeast
- 200 ml lukewarm milk
- 50 g sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon cardamom (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 75 g unsalted butter, softened
For the Filling:
- 3 medium apples, peeled and grated or finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Optional: chopped nuts or raisins
Optional Topping:
- 2 tablespoons pearl sugar or sliced almonds
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast, lukewarm milk, yogurt, and sugar. Let it sit for 5 minutes until the yeast activates. Add the cinnamon, cardamom (if using), salt, and flour gradually, mixing until a rough dough forms. Knead in the softened butter until the dough is smooth and elastic. Cover and let it rise in a warm place for 1–1.5 hours until doubled in size. - Prepare the Filling
Mix the grated apples with brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Set aside. - Assemble the Rolls
Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a large rectangle, about 1 cm thick. Spread the apple mixture evenly over the dough. Roll it tightly from one long side to form a log. Cut into 12–16 slices. - Bake
Place the rolls on a lined baking tray or in a greased baking dish, leaving some space between them. Let them rise for another 15 minutes. Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F). Bake for 15–20 minutes until golden brown. - Serve
Cool slightly before serving. Optional: Sprinkle with pearl sugar or almonds before baking, or drizzle with icing after cooling.
