Servings: persons

FOR THE FILLING:
2 pounds Walnuts, Finely Ground
3/4 cups Whole Milk
3/4 cups Unsalted Butter
3/4 cups Plus 1 Teaspoon Honey
_____
FOR THE DOUGH:
3/4 cups Whole Milk, Scalded
1 Tablespoon Active Yeast
2 Tablespoons Sugar
4 cups Flour
2 sticks Unsalted Butter, Chilled
4 whole Egg Yolks, Unbeaten
1 teaspoon Salt

1
Nut mixture:
2
Warm the milk. Add honey, butter, and vanilla. Mix with the ground nuts.
3
To make the dough:
4
Add yeast into warm milk (scalded). Add sugar and let stand until bubbly. This will take about 5 minutes.
5
Cut cold butter into flour and salt until completely integrated. Make a well and drop the unbeaten egg yolks in, then the yeast mixture. Knead until the dough comes easily off your hand (this will not take more than a minute or two). Cover with a towel and allow to rise for 1 hour.
6
Divide dough into 4 equal parts. Working one part at a time, roll out on a lightly floured surface to a rectangular shape the thickness of a pie crust (between 1/8th and 1/4 inches). Spread on 1/4 of the nut mixture.
7
Roll up loosely (it should be flatter than it is round) and place seam side down on an ungreased cookie sheet. Cover and let rise for 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
8
Bake at 375F for 30-35 minutes.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
