sweet italian nut roll

How To Make sweet italian nut roll

• Step 1
  Add yeast to milk and water. Mix with 3 cups of the flour. Let stand for 1/2 hour. Add the remainder of the flour, eggs, sugar, butter, and salt. Knead until elastic (about 4 minutes). Let rise 2 hours until doubled in bulk.
• Step 2
  Heat the ingredients for the filling together, blend well and let cool.
• Step 3
  When dough is through rising, divide into 5 or 6 equal parts. Let rest on floured board for 15 minutes.
• Step 4
  Roll out in long pieces, as if for jelly roll. Lay down your filling to cover dough completely and roll up.
• Step 5
  Put on greased cookie sheets, seam side down (2-3) per pan; tuck ends under to seal. Let rise again, about 25 minutes.
• Step 6
  Bake at 350 degrees F for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
• Step 7
  ADDED NOTE: Nuts should be very finely chopped. Best way to achieve this is by using a food processor.
