This is a traditional Christmas Eve bread in Sub-Carpathian region. This is not eaten alone, but served with the traditional mushroom soup poured over it (see my mushroom soup recipe).

3 cups flour
3 ounces evaporated milk
1/2 cup warm water
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 tablespoon butter, melted
1 egg yolk, beaten
1/3 teaspoon salt
1 (14 ounce) can sauerkraut, well drained (save liquid if making the mushroom soup)
Directions:
1. Dissolve yeast with sugar in lukewarm milk, set aside to rise (15 min).
2. Sift flour in a deep bowl.
3. Add evaporated milk, water, and melted butter.
4. Add beaten egg yolks, salt, and yeast mixture.
5. Knead well, cover and let rise 2 hours.
6. Pinch off enough to make a 1/2-inch ball, roll into ball shape and place on a non-stick cookie sheet.
7. Let rise for 10 minutes.
8. Bake at 375F for 15 minutes, until lightly brown.
9. Put into large bowl mix with sauerkraut.
