Ingredients

• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Milk
• 0.5 cup Butter
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast (Fleischmann's or similar)
• 2 Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 0.25 cup Warm water (110°F/45°C)
• 0.5 cup Optional: powdered sugar (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in warm water (110°F) along with 1 teaspoon of sugar. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes, until bubbly and foamy.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, heat the milk over low heat until warm (do not boil). Remove from heat and stir in the butter until melted.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center and add the activated yeast mixture, warm milk-butter mixture, eggs, and vegetable oil.

Step 4

Mix the ingredients together, starting from the center, gradually incorporating the flour until a dough forms.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 7-10 minutes. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment for 5-7 minutes.

Step 6

Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 7

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a circle about 12 inches in diameter.

Step 8

Cut each circle into 6 wedges (like slicing a pizza), making a total of 24 triangles.

Step 9

Starting from the wide base of each triangle, roll the dough tightly toward the tip to form a crescent roll shape. Place the rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, with the tips tucked under to prevent unrolling.

Step 10

Cover the rolls with a kitchen towel and let them rise for another 30-40 minutes, until puffy.

Step 11

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the kifle in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

Step 12

Optional: Once cooled slightly, dust the rolls with powdered sugar for a sweet touch or serve as-is.
