Nothing completes a holiday spread quite like a walnut roll! The filling is deliciously moist and perfectly sweet with just the right amount of walnut flavor.
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.
2 cups walnuts,, 1 egg white, 1 cup sugar
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.
Repeat the previous step with the rest of the divided dough by rolling it, adding filling and rolling it up.
Give 15 minutes for the dough roll to rise once again then whisk 1 egg and brush lightly the top of each roll. Place in oven.
Bake for 15 minutes on 240F, then change the temperature to 275F for another 15 minutes and lastly change the temperature to 295F and bake until rolls are golden brown. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
Tip: double the walnut filling to have enough for all of the dough.
