Add 1 chicken egg and 2 egg yolks to a separate bowl, add regular and vanilla sugar. The remaining 2 egg whites will be used to make the glaze. Using a whisk, thoroughly beat the egg mixture with sugar.
Add ground turmeric to the eggs - it will make the baked goods a sunny color, brighter and more appetizing.
Melt the butter and cool it, pour it into the beaten eggs and stir this part of the dough thoroughly.
Heat the kefir slightly until it becomes slightly warm, crumble the raw yeast into it and stir everything thoroughly until smooth.
Pour the egg mixture with butter into the kefir with yeast, stir everything with a spoon.
Sift all the wheat flour into a spacious bowl, add a little salt and mix.
Pour the yeast into the flour and start kneading the dough.
