Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 cups Unsalted butter
- 1 cups Whole milk
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 cups Walnuts (ground)
- 1 cups Powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.5 cups Whole milk (for filling)
- 1 piece Egg yolk (for egg wash)
- 1 teaspoons Water (for egg wash)
Instructions
In a small bowl, heat the milk until lukewarm (about 110°F or 43°C). Stir in the yeast and 1 teaspoon of sugar from the measured sugar. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Cut the butter into small cubes and work it into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Lightly beat 3 eggs and add them to the dough mixture along with the yeast mixture. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, you can use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment for 5-7 minutes.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until doubled in size.
While the dough is rising, prepare the nut filling by combining the ground walnuts, powdered sugar, honey, vanilla extract, and milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir until thickened, then allow to cool completely.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a rectangle about 10x12 inches on a floured surface.
Spread an even layer of the nut filling over each rectangle, leaving a half-inch border around the edges. Roll each rectangle tightly from the shorter side, sealing the edges and seam to form a log.
Place the rolls seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving some space between them. Cover loosely with plastic wrap or a towel and let rest for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and water to make the egg wash. Brush the rolls with the egg wash for a glossy finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until golden brown. Check halfway through and tent with foil if the tops are browning too quickly.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
