Special Equipment Needed:

Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water and let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
2. In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted. Remove from heat and let it cool for 5 minutes.
3. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the yeast mixture, milk mixture, sugar, salt, egg, and 2 cups of flour. Mix on low speed until combined.
4. Gradually add the remaining flour and mix until the dough comes together and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
5. Switch to the dough hook attachment and knead the dough on medium speed for 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
6. Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
7. Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
8. On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle that's about 1/4 inch thick.
9. Spread the cooked sausage, shredded cheese, and chopped green onions over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
10. Roll up the dough tightly, starting at the long end, and pinch the seams to seal.
11. Cut the dough into 12 equal pieces and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
12. Brush the beaten egg mixture over the tops of the klobasneks.
13. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
