Azerbaijani Salted Buns Shor Gogal Cooking Recipe
Azerbaijani salted buns shor gogal can be cooked according to this recipe from Azerbaijani cuisine. First you need to knead the dough for shor gogal buns. To do this, dilute yeast in warm water, and after 15 minutes add salt, flour and knead the dough. The dough needs to sit for about 1 hour for it to rise.
Now you can prepare the filling for shor gogal buns. Pour the Imereti saffron with a small amount of boiling water, mix the remaining spices, pour melted butter into them, and mix everything well. The result should be a fairly crumbly filling for the buns.
Now let's get back to the test for shor gogal. Divide the risen dough into 6 parts, each of which is rolled out into a rectangle. You need to roll out the dough very thin - the taste of future buns depends on this. Cut each of the rectangles with a pizza cutter into thin strips, approximately 2 cm wide. Roll all the dough strips into rolls and set aside for 15 minutes.
Roll out the dough rolls with a rolling pin or press them with your hand so that you get a not too thin cake. Place the prepared filling in the center of each flatbread and bring the edges of the dough together to form shor gogal buns. Place the prepared buns on a baking sheet greased with melted butter and let them stand for 15 minutes.
Brush the risen buns with beaten egg and sprinkle with poppy seeds. Place the baking sheet in a preheated oven at 180°C (355°F) and bake them for 30 minutes. Azerbaijani salted buns shor gogal are served warm.
