Nut Roll Recipe

Looking for a recipe that will bring back childhood memories or implant new ones? Let’s try nut rolls to make good ones!

Knead flour, butter, honey or sweetener of choice, yeast and milk. Work in the egg yolks, sour cream and salt too and dough until getting an even texture.
Put dough into a big bowl with a lid on top and let it rise in a 68°F – 81°F /20°C – 27°C place.

Mix ground walnut, honey, raisin, lemon zest, vanilla, rum extract and milk together.
On medium to low heat, bring the milk to boil while stirring continuously. Take it off the heat and wait until it cools down otherwise it will ruin the dough.

Dust the work surface with flour then divide the dough into 2 parts. Work with one piece at a time, roll out the dough into a ⅛” / 3mm high rectangular shape, the length of our baking tray.
Fill half of the filling along one of the long side of the dough. Mind to leave an empty stripe on one side otherwise the dough can’t be closed properly.
Roll the dough up. Repeat the process with the remaining dough and filling.
Place them onto a buttered or parchment papered baking tray. Brush the top with egg-wash and punch holes alongside with a fork.
Place the dough into the middle rack of a 350°F / 180°C preheated oven then bake until the internal temperature reaches 185°F / 85°C and the top gets a golden brown color, which should happen in about 20-30 minutes depending on the oven.
