Ingredients
  

For the Dough:

  • 1 cup Sour cream
  • 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened)
  • 5 tablespoons Sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon Baking soda
  • ¾ teaspoon Fine sea salt
  • 3 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 package Instant yeast, (2 1/4 teaspoons) , or rapid-rise dry yeast
  • 2 large eggs (beaten), at room temperature

For the Nut Filling:

  • 1 pound Walnuts (ground finely to a meal-like consistency)
  • ½ cup Milk
  • 1 1/2 cups Sugar
  • 1 large egg (at room temperature)
  • 4 ounces (8 tablespoons) Unsalted butter

Instructions
 

Make the Filling:

  • Put together the ingredients.
  • To prepare the recipe, combine walnuts, milk, one egg, 1 1/2 cups sugar, and 4 ounces butter in a medium nonstick saucepan. Using a nonstick pan, carefully watch and stir the mixture so that it does not burn as it begins to boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer until the filling is thick.
  • Spread the dough after it has cooled completely, but don't refrigerate because it will become too stiff to spread.

Make the Dough:

  • The ingredients need to be gathered.
  • Bring sour cream to a boil in a large saucepan (or microwave-safe bowl).
  • Remove from heat and stir in 3 tablespoons butter, 5 tablespoons sugar, baking soda, and salt until well blended. On a thermometer, cool to 120 F to 130 F.
  • During the cooling process of the sour cream mixture, whisk the yeast and flour together in a large bowl.
  • Transfer the flour-yeast mixture to the cooled sour cream mixture and add the eggs.
  • With your hands, mix the dough until it forms a sticky dough. Roll out into a smooth ball by kneading lightly on a lightly floured surface.
  • Let stand for 5 minutes with an overturned bowl or greased plastic wrap.

Assemble and Bake

  • It will be a soft dough. Divide it in half. Roll one piece of dough at a time, using as little extra flour as possible, into a rectangle. Divide the filling in half.
  • Roll the dough up from the bottom after flipping the sides in. Do the same with the other half of the dough and filling. Place on a parchment-lined sheet pan or greased 9x5-inch loaf pan and let rise for one to one and a half hours, covered with greased plastic.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Bake for 35 minutes. Cool the rolls on the sheet pan or in the loaf pans for 10 minutes. After that, transfer the loaf pans to a cooling rack or invert them onto a wire rack to cool completely before cutting.
  • Have fun.
