120 min.
Ingredients
  • 4 cups (585 g) flour
  • ½ cup (116 g) sugar
  • 3 teaspoons (11 g) dry yeast
  • ¾ cup (175 g) fresh milk
  • 4 tablespoons (40 g) melted butter
  • 2 eggs – 100 g
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • + butter for greasing the pan
  • + flour for dusting the pan
  • For the filling:
  • 3-4 tablespoons (30-40 g) soft butter
  • 3 tablespoons (60 g) honey
  • 2/3 cup (75 g) chopped walnuts
  • 1/3 cup (80 g) sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • melted dark chocolate
Preparation
  1. Mix the yeast with 1 tablespoon of sugar and pour in warm milk. Stir until fully dissolved, then add flour until a paste forms. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 5-10 minutes.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat eggs with sugar, then add melted butter and vanilla. Once the yeast is ready, combine it with the egg mixture.
  3. For the filling, mix walnuts with sugar and cinnamon, and separately blend butter with honey. Prepare a baking tray lined with greased parchment paper.
  4. Divide the dough into two equal parts. Roll one part into a circle (25-30 cm diameter) and place it on the parchment. Brush with butter and honey, then sprinkle with walnut mixture.
  5. Roll out the second dough part similarly and place it on top. Pinch the edges together, place a small cup in the center, and cut into 12 segments.
  6. Twist each segment twice and place back on the tray. Cover and let rise for about 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 175°C and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
