Ingredients
Instructions
- Put flour in a large mixing bowl; crumble in the compressed yeast.
- Cut in margarine or butter with a pastry blender until crumbly.
- Add egg yolks and sour cream.
- Mix well using hands.
- Form into a ball; knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth, about 5 to 10 minutes.
- Divide dough into 3 equal parts.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using butter instead of margarine. If you’re short on time, you can use store-bought pastry dough as a substitute for the homemade dough. Ensure your ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing. Adding a pinch of salt can enhance the overall flavor of the rolls.
Serving Suggestions
These Kifle are delightful served warm with a dusting of confectioners sugar on top. They pair beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea. For a festive touch, serve alongside Dream Frozen Fruit Salad or Mix Fruit Salad, which complement the nutty flavor of the rolls perfectly.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Kifle in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, freeze the rolls individually wrapped in plastic wrap and then in a freezer bag. To reheat, simply thaw in the refrigerator overnight and warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use active dry yeast instead of cake yeast?
Yes, you can substitute active dry yeast for cake yeast. Use about 2 teaspoons of active dry yeast, and activate it in warm water before mixing it with the flour. This adjustment will still yield delicious Kifle.
What type of nuts can I use for the filling?
You can use a variety of nuts for the filling, such as walnuts, almonds, or pecans. Chopped nuts can add a delightful crunch and flavor. Toasting the nuts lightly before adding them enhances their flavor even more.
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the dough ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. Just make sure to wrap it well in wax paper or plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out. This makes it convenient for busy days.
