Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 4 rolls
Ingredients
  • Dough Ingredients:
  • ½ cup melted butter
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 packages of dry active yeast
  • ¾ cup warm water (110-115 degrees)
  • 1 egg – room temp
  • 5½ – 6½ cups flour
  • 1 stick of butter, melted (set aside for use later)
  • 1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of milk = for “egg wash” (set aside for use later)
Instructions
  1. In a stand-up mixer (using dough hook), combine butter, sour cream, and sugar together.
  2. Stir and dissolve yeast in warm water in a separate bowl. Add yeast mixture to sour cream mixture, along with egg and 3 cups of flour.
  3. Beat until smooth. Add remaining flour in ½ cup increments to make a stiff dough.
  4. Grease a large bowl with vegetable oil.
  5. Place dough in greased bowl, turning once to grease the top.
  6. Cover with plastic wrap. In addition to plastic wrap, cover the bowl with a dish towel.
  7. Place in warm area in kitchen and let rise until double in size — about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove towel and plastic wrap and punch dough down once.
  8. Cover again with plastic wrap and towel. Let rest for an additional 15 minutes.
  9. Divide dough into 4 equal parts.
  10. On a floured surface, roll out 1 portion of the dough into a rectangle (roughly 14 inch x 12 inch).
  11. **See tip below on a quick and easy clean-up method than rolling out on a floured surface.
  12. Brush dough with melted butter. Now dough is all set for poppyseed or nut roll fillings. See recipe for both filling options below.
  13. After filling is on dough. Roll up jelly roll style, starting with longest side.
  14. Pinch ends to seal and tuck ends under.
  15. Place seam side down on parchment or foil lined baking sheets.
  16. With a sharp knife, slice a few air vents into the dough. See photo example below.
  17. Let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
  18. Brush each roll with an egg wash.
  19. Bake 375 degrees for 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
