Ingredients
3 cups of wheat flour
1 package (10g) of dry yeast
1/2 cup sugar
1 pinch of salt
1 cup of warm milk
1/2 cup melted butter
2 egg yolks
1 cup of sugar
2 tablespoons of cinnamon powder
1 cup chopped walnuts or almonds (optional)
1/2 cup apricot jam or other flavor of your choice for brushing
Directions
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, yeast, sugar and salt.
- In a pan, heat the milk until it is lukewarm. Add the melted butter and egg yolks. Mix well.
- Pour the liquid mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-10 minutes, or until it is elastic and does not stick to your hands.
- Cover the dough and let it rest for approximately 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
- While the dough rests, prepare the filling by mixing the sugar, cinnamon and chopped walnuts or almonds.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- After resting time, roll out the dough into a large rectangle on a floured surface.
- Spread the filling evenly over the dough.
- Roll the dough from one of the longer sides, forming a roll.
- Cut the roll into slices about 2 cm thick.
- Place the slices on a greased baking tray or lined with parchment paper, leaving space between them.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the slices are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and, while they are still hot, brush the slices with apricot jam to give them a shine.
- Let cool before serving.
