Instructions
-
Prepare the Dough:
Begin by dissolving the yeast and 2 tablespoons of sugar in 1/2 cup of warm water. Allow this mixture to stand until the yeast has softened and become frothy, which typically takes about 5 to 10 minutes. -
-
Mix the Dry Ingredients:
While the yeast is activating, take a large mixing bowl and rub the butter into the flour using your fingers, mimicking the technique used for making a pie crust. The goal is to achieve a crumbly texture. -
Combine Wet Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs together with 1 teaspoon of salt until they are well mixed. Add the dissolved yeast mixture to the beaten eggs and stir to combine. -
Form the Dough:
Gradually add the yeast and egg mixture to the flour mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms. If the dough feels too sticky, add a bit more flour, but be careful not to overdo it. -
First Rise:
Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and place it in a warm spot. Let it rise until it doubles in size, which should take about 1 hour. -
Shape the Rohalyky:
Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release any air. Take a piece of dough about the size of a tennis ball and roll it out on a surface that has been lightly sprinkled with sugar. Aim for a thickness of about 1/4 inch. -
Cut the Wedges:
Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, slice the rolled-out dough into 8 wedges. -
Add the Filling:
Place approximately 1 teaspoon of your desired filling at the wide end of each wedge. Roll the dough up toward the point, making sure to tuck in the edges to seal the filling inside. -
Second Rise:
Arrange the rolled pastries on a greased baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart. Cover them lightly with a kitchen towel and let them rise for another 15 minutes. -
Bake the Rohalyky:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Once the dough has puffed slightly, bake the Rohalyky in the preheated oven for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. -
Prepare the Filling:
While the Rohalyky are baking, grind the walnuts and oatmeal together in a food processor or chopper until they reach a fine consistency. In a bowl, combine the ground mixture with the remaining sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon to create a flavorful filling. -
Serve and Enjoy:
Once the Rohalyky are baked to perfection, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. These pastries are best enjoyed warm, but they can also be stored in an airtight container for later enjoyment.
