Ukrainian Scuffles

Ukrainian Scuffles, also known as rogalyky, are a signature Ukrainian dessert cooked for Christmas. These croissant-shaped rolls are traditionally made of buttery yeast dough and covered with cinnamon sugar. Soft and buttery, they are fun and easy to make. A few pantry staple ingredients and a slow overnight rise give this dough its amazing flavor and texture.

The dough is very easy to put together and is best if prepared in advance and refrigerated overnight. The next day, divide the dough into 6 pieces and roll each piece into a ball. Work with one dough ball at a time, keeping the remaining dough in the fridge. Generously sprinkle the working surface with cinnamon sugar and roll out the dough into a circle. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut it into equal triangles. Roll up each triangle starting from the wide end into a croissant-shaped roll and place it on the prepared cookie sheet. If you have kids, get them involved in the fun by having them roll up the scuffles as you slice the dough. Bake the scuffles in batches for about 15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool before serving, and enjoy!

To make the Ukrainian Scuffles, you will need the following ingredients:

Steps to make Ukrainian Scuffles

1	Activate dry yeast	10
In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon active dry yeast and ¼ cup lukewarm water. Let sit for 10 minutes to allow the yeast to bloom.
2	Combine dry ingredients	1
In a large bowl, stir together 3 cups flour, ½ teaspoon salt, and 3 tablespoons sugar.
3	Add butter	2
Using your fingers, work 1 cup butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4	Combine milk, eggs, and yeast	1
In another bowl, whisk together ½ cup milk and 2 eggs. Whisk in the yeast.
5	Combine dry and wet ingredients	2
Add to the dry ingredients the yeast mixture and mix well. The dough will be sticky.
6	Knead	1
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead briefly.
7	Proof dough	8h
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
8	Preheat oven
The next day, preheat the oven to 350 °F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
9	Combine sugar and cinnamon	1
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup sugar and 1 ½ tablespoons cinnamon
10	Divide dough	2
Remove the dough from the fridge and divide it into 6 even pieces. Roll each piece into a ball. Work with one piece of bowl at a time, keeping the rest in the fridge.
11	Roll out dough	2
Generously sprinkle the working surface with cinnamon sugar. Working with one portion of the dough at a time, roll it into a circle about ⅛-inch thick. Sprinkle a little more cinnamon sugar on top.
12	Slice and shape	4
Slice the dough into 12 triangles. Roll up each triangle starting from the wide end into a croissant-shaped roll.
13	Transfer to baking sheet	1
Arrange the scuffles on the prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart.
14	Bake	15
Bake the scuffles in batches for about 15 minutes or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining dough.
15	Serve
Cool the scuffles before serving, and enjoy!
