Total time: 4.15 hours
Ingredients
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 stick margarine or butter
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 package dry yeast
  • 1/3 cup lukewarm water
  • 2 eggs, slightly beaten
  • 4 1/2 cup flour
  • 5 cup ground walnuts
  • 1 1/2 cup sugar
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
  2. Scald milk.

  5. Meanwhile, dissolve yeast in the lukewarm water.
  6. In a large metal bowl, add to the above cooled mixture.
  7. Then, add in the beaten eggs.
  8. Stir in flour. Dough will be firm, but keep mixing with spoon by hand until dough is very smooth. It will form a ball and loosen from the sides of the bowl.

  12. Roll out one of the halves of dough to make a rectangle, 10-by-15-inches.
  13. Combine ground walnuts and sugar.
  14. Spread half the nut mixture evenly onto dough.
  15. Moisten edges of dough with water and roll up, starting with the long end.
  16. Place on a greased cookie sheet.
  17. Repeat with remaining dough and nut mixture.
  18. Cover and let rise one hour.
  19. Bake 35-40 minutes, until lightly browned.
