Make the yeast dough

Mix the flour, salt, half of the sugar and the dried yeast. Add the lukewarm milk, 1 egg and the melted butter and knead into a soft dough. Leave it to rise for 1.5 hours.

Prepare the walnut filling

For the filling, coarsely chop the walnuts and mix them with the remaining sugar.

Fill and roll the dough

Roll the risen dough out into a rectangle. Brush it with melted butter, spread the walnut mixture over it and roll it up tightly.

Slice and prove the buns

Cut the roll into even slices and arrange them on a greased baking tray. Let them rise for another 30 minutes.

Glaze and bake

Brush the tops with egg yolk. Bake in a 175 °C oven for 25–30 minutes, until golden on top.

Chef's tip: You can dust the tops with icing sugar.

Time's up! Enjoy your meal.
