Delicious home-made bread with a sweet and nutty pecan or walnut filling.
Makes about 20
Dough:
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter
4 eggs
1 package yeast (about 2-1/2 teaspoons)
1/4 cup warm water
4 cups flour
2 tsp. salt
Nut filling
4 cups chopped pecans or walnuts
1/2 cups sugar, half brown, half white
1 stick of melted butter
2 eggs, beaten
Cream sugar and butter together. Add eggs one at a time Dissolve 1 yeast in 1/4 cup warm water and add to creamed mixture. Sift 4 cups flour and 2 tsp. salt together. Add to mixture and mix. Place in greased bowl, cover and refrigerate overnight.
Mix all filling ingredients together.
Roll out 10" X 14" size dough, spread half of the nut filling on and roll up. Repeat with second dough roll. Seal edges, cover with towel and place in warm spot until dough rises, or for an hour, whichever comes first. Bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees. Brush with melted butter if desired the last fifteen minutes before roll is done.

This recipe has replaced whatever recipe my Hungarian grandmother used to make nutroll! It is that good! Easy enough for this fumble-fingered guy to bake. I make a whole bunch of these and give them out to family and friends.
The only addition I make, is I mix in a little powdered sugar with the butter that I brush on in the last few minutes. Great recipe, and now family and friends ask for it every year! 5 stars

This is the worst recipe I tried. I would never attempt this recipe again. It definitly was not like a typical nut roll. 1 star

Would make this again.
My nut rolls didn't rise. My questions are: Should I kneed the dough before placing it in the refrigerator; is the dough suppose to rise in the refrigerator? After I took the dough out the next morning and rolled it out it still did not rise. I baked the rolls and they were hard. Where did I go wrong: 5 stars
