Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Melt the butter and let it cool slightly. Mix the warm milk, one egg, and cooled melted butter in a separate bowl.

Step 3

Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.

Step 4

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for approximately 45 minutes or until doubled in size.

Step 6

For the filling, mix the ground hazelnuts, powdered sugar, and ground cinnamon in a bowl.

Step 7

Add 50 milliliters of milk to the nut mixture and stir until it forms a spreadable paste.

Step 8

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 9

Roll the dough out on a floured surface into a rectangle about 30x40 cm (12x16 inches).

Step 10

Evenly spread the nut filling over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 11

Starting from the longer side, roll the dough tightly into a log.

Step 12

Cut the log into 8 equal pieces and place them cut side up on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 13

Cover the pastries with a towel and let them sit for another 10 minutes.

Step 14

Mix the egg yolk with a tablespoon of water to make an egg wash and brush it over the tops of the pastries.
