Directions

Prepare the Kokosh Cake or Buns

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

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

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

  4. Brush dough with oil.

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

  6. For buns, cut into one-inch slices. Lay slices, face up, on baking sheet. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes.

  7. Bake the whole kokosh log for 30 to 35 minutes.
