Time 3h5m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cake yeast
1 c milk; warmed
1 c water; warmed
8 c flour
1/4 lb butter (salted); melted
1/2 c sugar
1/2 tsp salt
3 large eggs; slightly beaten
FILLING
1 lb walnuts; ground fine
1 c sugar
1 c milk
1 stick butter (salted)

Steps:

  • 1. Add yeast to milk and water. Mix with 3 cups of the flour. Let stand for 1/2 hour. Add the remainder of the flour, eggs, sugar, butter, and salt. Knead until elastic (about 4 minutes). Let rise 2 hours until doubled in bulk.
  • 2. Heat the ingredients for the filling together, blend well and let cool.
  • 3. When dough is through rising, divide into 5 or 6 equal parts. Let rest on floured board for 15 minutes.
  • 4. Roll out in long pieces, as if for jelly roll. Lay down your filling to cover dough completely and roll up.
  • 5. Put on greased cookie sheets, seam side down (2-3) per pan; tuck ends under to seal. Let rise again, about 25 minutes.
  • 6. Bake at 350 degrees F for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
  • 7. ADDED NOTE: Nuts should be very finely chopped. Best way to achieve this is by using a food processor.
