Shor gogal

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Ingredients for the dough.

2. STEP 2

   

   Let's put on the dough. Mix yeast with sugar and pour warm milk. Leave the dough to rise in a warm place. I have dry active yeast, so the dough rose in 15 minutes.

3. STEP 3

   

   Mix melted butter with sour cream and egg.

4. STEP 4

   

   Add the dough and mix. Then add salt and gradually stir in flour. I indicated 500 g of flour, but you may have to add, see how much the dough takes. The dough will be soft and slightly stick to your hands.

5. STEP 5

   

   Cover the dough with film and leave to rise in a warm place for 1 hour.

6. STEP 6

   

   Ingredients for filling.

7. STEP 7

   

   Let's prepare the filling. Mix all the dry spices and salt with flour, the saffron will need to be brewed first, add it too.

8. STEP 8

   

   Then pour in the melted butter and grind everything thoroughly.

9. STEP 9

   

   The result is a yellow mass, it will be crumbly, but if you squeeze a piece of it, it will easily form a lump.

10. STEP 10

    

    Sprinkle the table with flour. Divide the dough into 8 pieces.

11. STEP 11

    

    Thinly roll out each piece into a rectangle or, if you have a special circle, then roll it out on it. Try to roll out the dough as thinly as possible.

12. STEP 12

    

    Coat each layer with melted butter and stack on top of each other; there is no need to grease the last layer.

13. STEP 13

    

    Now cut the dough into strips 2 cm wide. Depending on the length of the strips, you can also cut them in half. I cut it and got strips 18 cm long.

14. STEP 14

    

    Roll each strip into a roll.

15. STEP 15

    

    Press the middle with your thumb to make a funnel.

16. STEP 16

    

    Add about 1 teaspoon of filling.

17. STEP 17

    

    Pinch the edges to seal the filling. Then press it into a flat cake.

18. STEP 18

    

    Place the buns on a baking sheet lined with parchment, seam side down. Cover with cellophane and leave for 15 minutes for them to rise.

19. STEP 19

    

    Then brush the shor gogal with beaten egg.

20. STEP 20

    

    Sprinkle sesame seeds on top; it can be replaced with poppy seeds or bread seeds.

21. STEP 21

    

    Set to bake at 180 degrees for 30 minutes. Use your oven as a guide and bake until golden brown.

22. STEP 22

    

    Leave the finished shor gogal to cool open. If you immediately cover them with a hot towel, the crust will become soft, but we need a crispy crust. Serve warm.

23. STEP 23

    

    Bon appetit everyone!

Very good recipe. I liked it better than without sour cream and just milk. The gogals are softer and stay fresh longer. By the way, you can store gogals in a saucepan for a very long time. Just reheat in the microwave or under the lid and they are as fresh again. This is our favorite sweet tea treat. I love it in coffee. Well done author for being able to repeat our difficult Azerbaijani recipe so well :). For those who do not want this filling, it can be distributed between layers or put very little in the middle. Then the gogals will be fragrant, but without a specific filling in the middle. My kids don't eat it and I always put it between layers.
