Mom's nutroll

Requested by Lisa B

Dough

1/2  cup of milk warmed to 105 - 110 with 1/2 tsp sugar

1 fresh yeast cake (2 oz) finely crumbled

Add crumbled cake to warmed milk, wait for yeast to proof and expand

If using dry yeast instead, add 3 packs (not quick rise) to the warm milk/sugar

Combine -

4 Tbsp sugar (I use 5)

3 large eggs

1 cup sour cream

1 tsp salt

1 cup very soft butter

Add  -

6 cups of flour

Easier to blend in butter using hands (I wear latex or nitrile gloves for mixing&kneading

Once blended, knead for 7 minutes

Add to bowl, cover loosely, let rise till doubled

Divide into six, keep covered as each piece is worked

Roll on lightly floured surface into rectangle

Spread 1 cup of nut mixture evenly, leave edge clean to seal, roll, pinch edges shut

Put two on cookie sheet, cover, let rise one hour, bake 350 for 30 minutes

Brush with milk when out of oven

Nut filling

1/4  cup butter

1 1/2 cup sugar ( 1 use 1 3/4)

1 cup milk

2 Tbsp honey

Heat the above mixture to blend and melt sugar, then add  ...

2 pounds walnuts, (8 cups whole/pieces), ground fine

Stir to combine 

I add 2 Tbsp maple syrup or omit honey and use 4 Tbsp but not in mom's original

 

Making another batch, this time two will be poppy seed.  Used to make from scratch but buy Solo canned filling now.   

Bolbalki!!!
