Procedure Edit
Dough Edit
- Dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm milk. Mix well, and lest rest until foamy.
- Stir the sugar, shortening, and salt into the yeast mixture. Let cool slightly, then mix in the eggs.
- Place half of the flour in a bowl, and gradually stir in the liquid mixture. Mix well, then knead in the remaining flour. The dough should be smooth and not sticky.
- Cover the dough, and let it rise in a warm place for about 2 hours until doubled in volume.
- Gently knead the dough to deflate it. Divide it into 6 pieces, and let it stand for 10 minutes.
Filling Edit
- Combine all of the ingredients for the filling, and set aside until the dough is ready.
Assembly Edit
- Roll each dough piece out, and spread with the nut filling mixture. Roll up the dough to make a spiral.
- Place the rolls on a greased and/or parchment-lined baking sheet. Let rise for 1 hour.
- Make the egg wash by beating together the eggs with a dash of evaporated milk. Brush the tops of the rolls with the egg wash.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes at 350˚F (180˚C) until golden and cooked through.
- Brush the hot rolls with melted butter, and let cool.
Notes, tips, and variations Edit
- Nut rolls freeze well for up to six months after being baked.
