Rugelach: rich dough around a rolled filling

Useful to know

The rugelach in King Arthur Baking's recipe use dough made with butter, cream cheese and sour cream. The chilled dough surrounds a nut-and-dried-fruit filling and is shaped into small rolled pastries. [1]

Resembling a miniature croissant does not mean using the same technique. The richness and handling of this dough differ from repeatedly laminating a yeasted dough. When comparing recipes, examine the ingredients and shaping before drawing conclusions about the preparation method.
