"Wouldn't you like a Yeast Nut Roll?"
I just finished making these nut roll's and they are delicious if you like something nutty.
And I do....
I plan to freeze them on a cookie sheet then rap and freeze for later.
*This is something I tried and it worked good for me:
I put the dough ingredients in my bread machine...and it turned out really good.
I put my cup of milk in the microwave for a minute to get it warm then
I stirred my 2 tabsp of sugar to dissolve. I pour the milk and sugar
mixture in the bread machine....Half way melted my cup of butter and pour it in ..
then if put in my two egg yolks...dip up my 4 cups of flour and put in
next..then added the salt and yeast...I set my machine on the dough cycle ...
I made the filling and it was cool by the time the dough was ready...
In a hour and a half I was ready to take the dough out divide into four equal parts ...
Then I just followed the rest of the recipe.....
THis is quite easy to make....
Tip*
THis might be what everyone else does already ..but I will tell it anywawy
I warm my oven to 150 degrees right before the dough cycle stops on my bread machine...
then turn it off so I have a nice warm place for my finish product to rise...
Then I work up whatever it is I'm making then slide it in the oven
...and I do this for all my yeast bread or rolls I make. When it has finished rising..
I slipe out the pan carefully and preheated my oven to finish baking. It has seem to work well for
me so far....
Nut Roll's

will preparing filling.

1 tsp. vanilla
Heat all ingredients in a saucepan until butter melts and sugar
dissolves. Remove from heat and let cool.

rectangle shape. Spread an equal amount of filling on each
portion on dough. Roll up jelly roll fashion and let
raise 15-20 minutes. Brush with egg whites before baking.
Bake at 350F for 30 minutes.
Buttercream Icing: (optional)
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1/2 cup shortening
1 1/2 tsp. clear vanilla
5 cups confectioners sugar
2-3 Tbsp. milk
Cream butter and shortening then add vanilla. Add sugar a cup
at a time beating on medium speed. Add milk 1 tablespoon at a
time and beat on high until fluffy. Makes 3 1/2 cups.
(I used butter, buttered flavored Crisco,regular vanilla extract..and cream not milk)
It really turned out good...
I'm always doing a little something different with a recipe...
I really like these better with the Icing...than plain...
If you are not wanting something so sweet just leave it off.
But, the Icing makes them so much better.. believe me.....
Just wanted to share something I did today....
Happy Baking.
