Nothing completes a holiday spread quite like a walnut roll. Whether it’s Thanksgiving, Christmas or Easter. The filling is deliciously moist and perfectly sweet with just the right amount of walnut flavor.

Nothing quite says holiday cheer like a perfectly baked nut roll. This roll goes by so many names, including Hungarian nut roll, Polish nut roll, Orechovnik and Slovak Roll. We just call it the walnut roll. Whatever you’d like to call it, traditional nut rolls are soft, milky bread rolled with a sweetened walnut filling. Mmmm.

The help of a Bread Machine

Let’s start with the dough. The kneading dough can be intimidating for many people. It’s actually quite easy once you’ve gotten the hang of it but I’m a huge fan of shortcuts, when they work. And using a bread machine for this dough is a shortcut I can get behind.

Note: if you don’t have a bread machine, feel free to knead your dough by hand or with the help of a stand mixer. Dissolve the yeast into the warm milk; combine the rest of your ingredients and knead until your dough is soft but not sticky. Live in a covered bowl till it 2x the size. (about an 1hour).

The filling

The best things in life are always simple. And so is this walnut filling. I’m talking, three ingredients.

Walnuts. 2 cups. Finely chopped. You could use/add other nuts but I like sticking to walnuts only.

Sugar. I find 1 cup to be the perfect amount.

Egg white. To bring it all together.

That’s it! From there, you’ve just got to assemble, bake, and devour!

Are walnut rolls part of your holiday traditions? If not, try making them this season.

Meanwhile, prepare the filling.

To make the walnut filling:

Combine into a bowl the finely chopped walnuts, egg white and sugar. Mix well and you’ve got yourself a walnut filling! This will be enough for half of the dough in case you want to make another filling also.

How to make the roll:

When the dough is ready, preheat the oven to 240F. Get a baking sheet and spray or butter the pan so the rolls don’t stick when baking.

Divide the dough in half. If you want different kind of fillings divide the dough into how many fillings you want.

Sprinkle the surface with flour then roll one piece of dough flat into a rectangle shape. Spread walnut filling. Roll the dough in from the long side. Place on a baking sheet.

I didn't add any sugar to the dough recipe. Did it in the bread machine and came out great. You can roll the dough out with some extra flour and if you like to make the dough a tad sweeter you can always add sugar to the flour when you roll it out. Don't forget to brush the egg mixture on top right before baking and prick the top with a fork before putting in the oven. You can also make small squares with this dough and make individual pastries but the long rolls are quicker to make.

This was very easy recipe for the bread machine nut rolls. I didn't have vanilla so left it out but they were still delicious. I made 3 long rolls. The nut filling made one roll and I made two apricot rolls with canned apricot. I baked 350 for 30 min and was fine and the dough Was easy to roll but I did put flour down so wouldn't stick to counter. I brushed with the egg yolk and fork pricked the rolls before baking. Double the nut recipe if you make 2 rolls because the nut recipe listed only filled one for me if you like a lot of filling like we do.
