Hazırlanışı

Adım adım

1. 1

   In a small bowl, combine the warm water, active dry yeast, and the small portion of granulated sugar. Let it stand for 5-10 minutes until the mixture is foamy.

   Yaklaşık 10 dk.

   Aşçının notu: If the yeast doesn't foam, it may be inactive. Discard and start with fresh yeast.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, the larger portion of granulated sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.

   Yaklaşık 2 dk.

3. 3

   Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in the foamy yeast mixture, warm buttermilk, and melted butter.

   Yaklaşık 1 dk.

4. 4

   Mix with a spoon or your hands until a shaggy dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.

   Yaklaşık 2 dk.

5. 5

   Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Add small amounts of flour if the dough is too sticky to handle.

   Yaklaşık 10 dk.

   Aşçının notu: The dough should spring back slowly when poked with a finger.

6. 6

   Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and let it rise in a warm, draft-free place for 60 minutes, or until doubled in size.

7. 7

   While the dough rises, prepare the filling. In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped walnuts, brown sugar, milk, and butter for the filling.

   Yaklaşık 2 dk.

8. 8

   Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves. Continue to cook for 3-5 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat.

   Yaklaşık 5 dk.

9. 9

   Stir the ground cinnamon and vanilla extract into the nut mixture. Set aside to cool completely.

   Yaklaşık 1 dk.

   Aşçının notu: Spreading hot filling on the dough can kill the yeast and make it difficult to roll.

10. 10

    Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Yaklaşık 5 dk.

11. 11

    Once risen, gently punch down the dough to release the air. Divide it into two equal pieces.

    Yaklaşık 2 dk.

12. 12

    On a floured surface, roll one piece of dough into a rectangle approximately 25x35 cm (10x14 inches).

    Yaklaşık 5 dk.

13. 13

    Spread half of the cooled nut filling evenly over the dough, leaving a 2 cm (1-inch) border along one of the long edges.

    Yaklaşık 3 dk.

14. 14

    Tightly roll the dough into a log, starting from the long edge without the border. Pinch the seam and ends to seal securely.

    Yaklaşık 2 dk.

15. 15

    Place the log seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling to create a second log.

    Yaklaşık 5 dk.

16. 16

    Cover the logs loosely and let them rest for a final 30-minute rise.

    Yaklaşık 30 dk.

17. 17

    In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk for the egg wash. Brush this mixture evenly over the tops and sides of both logs.

    Yaklaşık 2 dk.

18. 18

    Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the rolls are a deep golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.

    Yaklaşık 40 dk.

    Aşçının notu: If the tops are browning too quickly, you can loosely tent them with aluminum foil.

19. 19

    Let the rolls cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
