Wait for 10 minutes; the yeast should become foamy. Cover the container with a lid or a towel. Meanwhile, while the yeast is foaming, use a whisk or hand mixer: in another bowl, mix 1 cup of warm milk, sour cream, butter, eggs, and salt. Add 2½ cups of flour and stir with a whisk. Now add the prepared yeast.

The dough will be sticky, so grease your hands with oil to prevent the dough from sticking. Dust the cutting board with flour. Pinch off a piece of dough the size of a tennis ball and use your fingers to roll it out slightly on the board. Now place about 1-2 tablespoons of filling in the center.
