    Preparation Steps

    1

    Prepare the yeast by dissolving it in a little lukewarm milk with a pinch of sugar. Let it sit for 10 minutes until foamy.

    2

    Crumble the butter into the flour, then add the proofed yeast, the remaining milk, sugar, and egg yolks. Knead the dough until it is smooth and homogenous.

    3

    Cover the dough and place it in a warm place for 1 hour to rise.

    4

    Meanwhile, prepare the filling: mix the ground walnuts with the powdered sugar, vanilla sugar, and enough milk to create a spreadable paste.

    5

    Roll out the risen dough into a thin rectangle and spread the walnut filling evenly over it.

    6

    Roll up the dough tightly, then place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the top with beaten egg.

    7

    Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown.
