Time 6h

Yield 1 Very large spiral loaf

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup milk, scalded
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/4 lb butter, melted
1 1/2 cups water
2 packages yeast
1/2 cup water (warm)
3 eggs
9 cups flour, approximate
2 lbs ground walnuts
2 cups milk, scalded
1/4 cup butter
2 1/2 cups sugar
4 teaspoons cinnamon
4 teaspoons vanilla
3 beaten eggs

Steps:

  • Dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup warm water, then mix remaining ingredients as you would for bread with about 9 cups flour (Do not add the flour all at once; 9 cups is approximate, as with all bread many things including temperature and humidity effect how much flour you need. Use enough to make a smooth pliable nonsticky dough); knead well.
  • Let rise 2 hours.
  • Mix filling ingredients together while milk is still warm.
  • Spread or roll dough on table top, making sure you have no holes.
  • Spread filling on top.
  • Roll up, then coil as a snake.
  • Let rise 2 hours in large greased roaster.
  • Bake 2 hours at 350°F.
