This Polish/Czech holiday roll is great as a dessert or breakfast treat. This bread may be filled with nut meats or a poppy seed filling. You can freeze the loaves after they are completely cooled.
Ingredients
Filling
- 7 ½ cups walnuts
- ¾ cup butter
- ½ cup white sugar
- 3 tablespoons maple flavoring
Dough
- 6 cups sifted all-purpose flour, divided, or as needed
- 2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
- 3 tablespoons white sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
- 1 cup butter
- ½ cup water
- 3 large eggs at room temperature
Directions
Step 1
Place walnuts in a food processor. Process until roughly ground.
Step 2
Melt 3/4 cup butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in 1/2 cup sugar until dissolved, about 1 minute. Remove from heat. Add ground walnuts and maple flavoring; stir to combine.
Step 3
Mix 2 cups flour, yeast, 3 tablespoons sugar, and salt together in a bowl.
Step 4
Combine sour cream, 1 cup butter, and water in a saucepan over low heat. Warm until melted, about 2 minutes; do not boil. Remove from heat; let stand until cool enough to dip a finger in, about 3 minutes.
Step 5
Add sour cream mixture to the flour mixture slowly. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes, scraping the bowl as you go. Add eggs and 1 additional cup flour; stir briefly to combine. Beat on high speed for 2 minutes more. Stir in remaining flour 1 cup at a time until a soft dough forms.
Step 6
Turn dough out onto a floured surface; knead several times and roll into a ball. Let rise for 10 minutes. Grease 2 jelly roll pans.
Step 7
Divide dough into 4 pieces; roll each out to a 14×12-inch rectangle. Spread 1/4 of the filling over each rectangle, leaving a 1-inch space around all edges. Roll each up lengthwise, jelly-roll fashion; pinch seams closed. Place, seams down, on the prepared pans. Cover with a damp cloth; let rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
Step 8
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 35 minutes. Place rolls on a rack to cool completely, 2 to 3 hours.
Cook’s Notes:
Do not use English black walnuts; the taste is too strong.
