Barbeque Sweet Rolls – Kurtos Kalacs

Start by preparing the dough. In a large bowl, mix flour with sugar. Dissolve the fresh yeast in a little warm milk and add to the flour mixture. Add the eggs, the rest of the milk, sour cream, lemon zest, and oil, and mix everything together until combined. Knead the mixture until the dough is smooth. Cover the bowl and let the dough sit for about 1 hour at room temperature to rise until nearly doubled in size.

After the dough has risen, punch it down, knead it briefly, and split it into 23-25 equal pieces. Roll each piece of dough into a thin rope, about 30 cm (12 inches) long. Use oil if the dough is sticky.

Grease the bottom of a barbecue stick and wrap each dough rope around it. Beat an egg and brush each roll with the egg wash. Sprinkle sugar, and cinnamon if using, all over the surface of each roll.

Roast the rolls slowly over the fire until they turn golden brown. Once done, let them cool for a minute, then remove the rolls slowly from the sticks.

Serve the rolls with vanilla cream filling, fresh strawberries on top, and a sprinkle of strawberry topping. Enjoy this delightful treat warm.
