Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup oleo (butter or margarine)
- 1 package dry yeast
- 4 Tbsp. sugar
- 2 1/4 cup flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1 egg yolk
Dissolve yeast in small bowl with warm water and sugar. Set aside.
Mix butter or margarine and flour. Make a well in the center and add egg yolk, salt and yeast mixture. Mix until dough is smooth and leaves sides of bowl. Divide dough into 2 sections. Roll each section out thin. Spread with filling (below). Roll and place on greased cookie sheet; brush with milk. Let stand for one hour.
Bake at 350 for about 35 minutes. Cover with damp cloth for about 3 minutes when they are taken from the oven.
Nut Roll Filling:
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 lb. ground nuts
- 3/8 cup sugar
- 4 Tbsp oleo (butter or margarine)
- 1/2 cup honey
Stir all ingredients together and cook until thick; bring to the boiling point. Add 1 beaten egg and 1/2 tsp salt gradually to about a cup of the mixture. Stir until well blended. Add this to the rest of the mixture. Spread over prepared dough.
Variation:
Can substitute poppy seed pastry filling for the nut roll filling.
