Nut Rolls

Directions

For the dough: Mix sour cream, salt, eggs and sugar together in a large bowl. Slowly add in the 5 cups of flour. Dissolve the yeast in the warm water. Add melted butter and the yeast to the flour mixture. Kneed on a lightly floured board and divide into 4 or 5 pieces. Shape each dough piece into a ball and wrap each dough ball in plastic wrap and freeze over night.

For the Nut Mixture: Place finely ground nuts, butter, sugar and evaporated milk into a sauce pan and cook together over medium heat stirring constantly until mixture thickens. Let cool slightly.

Making Nut Roll: Thaw Dough - Preheat oven to 350 degrees Working with one dough ball at a time; roll dough into a rectangle and spread ¼ or 1/5 nut mixture (depending on how many dough balls you made) to edge of dough . From the longest side of the rectangle of dough start rolling up the dough forming a log shape with the nut mixture inside. Place rolls onto lightly greased baking sheet. Beat 1 egg in a small bowl and brush the tops of each roll with the egg. Let rolls stand 1 hour to rise. Bake 350℉ (180℃) until light brown. Brush with melted butter. You can also top with confectioner sugar glaze and candied cherries. Enjoy!
