Directions: |
Directions:Beat first 5 ingredients with electric hand-beater, raise 20 minutes until bubbly. Then add the next ingredients. Use enough of the 5 cups of flour to make a soft dough. Knead about 10 minutes or until dough leaves your hands easily. Let raise until double. Cut into 7 portions (more for smaller rolls). Raise 20 minutes. Roll out ½ inch thick. Spread with melted butter (on nut-filled only) and then filling. Roll up like jelly roll and curve into horseshoe style. Raise 10 minutes, then spread with beaten egg. Bake at 350º. When cool, brush on melted butter.
Note: If working with ½ the dough at a time, put the other half in the refrigerator and take out ¾ of an hour before shaping. |

Notes: Nut rolls ARE the family heritage of my sons and siblings. Doreen has been seen cradling HER nut roll in her arm, taking one slice a day, and sharing it! This is my most-used, most passed-on recipe. I have trained Mary Catherine and Dana, and even Buzzie, in how to make these wonderful nut rolls.
