SOFT KIFLI WITH OIL

Usually when we make kifli, the recipe requires 1 whole butter or margarine (250 g). This recipe contains only 90 ml of oil and still kifli are very soft, spongy and tasty. I guarantee you'll love them. The dough is easy to handle.  I usually prepare it in the morning and form kifli after couple of hours.
 
Ingredients:
  • 1 fresh yeast (40 g)
  • 150 ml of yogurt
  • 150 ml of milk
  • 90 ml oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1.5 tsp sugar
  • 1 egg
  • about 600-700 g flour
  • pinch of baking powder
  • 1 egg  and a little sesame seeds for coating
  • filling is optional, I put ricotta cheese
Preparation:
  1. In the warm milk we dissolve yeast and sugar. No need to activate it.
  2. Then we add the baking powder, salt, egg, yogurt and oil.
  3. With a spoon we combine all the ingredients.
  4. We start to gradually add flour and knead by hand until we get smooth and non-stick dough.
  5. Cover the dough and let it rest for  1 hour
  6. Then we split it into two parts.
  7. From each section we make a circular crust. Cut the circle in triangles as in picture and put the filling on the wider part and roll.
  8. Align kifli on a pan coated with baking sheet, coat with an egg and sprinkle sesame seeds.
  9. We leave them on a warm place to rise for 30 minutes.
  10. We bake in a heated oven at 180-200 for about 20-25 minutes. After baking, I coated each with a bit of melted butter.
  11. We serve hot.
