Ingredients:

  • 1 package active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 8 tbsp (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 4 cups flour
  • walnut paste filling
  • 4 cups walnuts
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon or cocoa
  • 2 tbsp cognac
  • 1/3 cup hot milk

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl using a wooden spoon or in the work bowl of a heavy duty
  2. Electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the butter and
  3. Sugar until fluffy. Add the egg and beat vigorously for 1 minute. Beat in the
  4. Yeast mixture, the remaining 2/3 cup milk, the lemon zest, salt, and 1 cup of
  5. The flour. Beat in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until a soft dough
  6. That just clears the sides of the bowl is formed.
  7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead until smooth,
  8. About 3 minutes, dusting with flour only 1 tablespoon at a time as needed to
  9. Prevent sticking. The dough will be very soft but not sticky.
  10. Place the dough in a greased deep container. Turn once to coat the top and cover
  11. With plastic wrap. Let rise at cool room temperature for 4 to 6 hours, deflating
  12. Once or twice, or as long as overnight in the refrigerator.
  13. Gently deflate the dough. Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and
  14. Divide into 4 equal portions. Form each portion into a thick rectangle, place on
  15. Loosely floured parchment paper, cover loosely with a clean tea towel, and let
  16. Rest for 30 minutes.
  17. To make the walnut filling, combine the walnuts, sugar, and cinnamon in a food
  18. Processor fitted with the metal blade. Process until finely ground. Combine the
  19. Cognac and milk and, with the motor running, pour the mixture through the feed
  20. Tube in a slow, steady stream, processing until a thick, spreadable paste is
  21. Formed.
  22. Using a floured rolling pin on a very lightly floured work surface to minimize
  23. Sticking, roll or pat out each dough portion into a 13-by-7-inch rectangle about
  24. 1/8 inch thick. Spread the surface of each rectangle evenly with one-fourth of
  25. The nut paste.
  26. Working with one rectangle at a time and starting from a long side, fold over a
  27. 2-inch section. Continue to fold the dough in this manner to create a flattish
  28. Oval (rather than round) long log of dough. Pinch the seams and place the dough,
  29. Seam side down, on a greased baking sheet, fitting all 4 rolls horizontally on
  30. The pan about 2 inches apart. Brush with the egg glaze and prick all over with a
  31. Fork. Let rest, uncovered, at room temperature about 20 minutes.
  32. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Brush once more with the beaten egg. Place the
  33. Baking sheet on a rack in the center of the oven and bake 30 to 40 minutes, or
  34. Until golden and the loaves sound hollow when tapped with your finger. Let rest
  35. On the baking sheet 10 minutes. Using a large spatula, transfer the loaves to a
  36. Cooling rack. Cool completely.
