Whether you make this into buns or a kokosh cake, you won’t be sorry! The dough rolls out like a dream, so smooth and soft. Any filling can be used, so tailor it to your family’s palate. The end result is a fabulous, moist dessert that won’t last very long on your kitchen counter!

Directions

Prepare the Kokosh Cake or Buns

Dissolve yeast in water. Add remaining ingredients and knead into smooth dough. Cover with a dish towel and allow to rise.

Divide into three balls. Roll out each part on floured board to 1/4-inch thickness.

Brush dough with oil.

Prepare your desired filling. (These are always favorites.) Spread one-third of filling over each dough and roll up jelly-roll fashion.

For buns, cut into one-inch slices.

Lay slices, face up, on baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
