How to Make Nut Rolls Kolachi Kolacs Beigli

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Add the warm milk and melted butter; mix until a soft dough forms.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  5. Meanwhile, prepare the nut filling: In a large skillet, toast the walnuts and pecans until fragrant. Let cool slightly.
  6. Combine the toasted nuts, sugar, honey, cinnamon, and rum (optional) in a bowl. Mix well.
  7. Punch down the risen dough. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a large rectangle (approximately 18x24 inches).
  8. Spread the nut filling evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border.
  9. Tightly roll the dough from the long side into a log.
  10. Cut the log into four equal pieces.
  11. Place the rolls seam-down in a greased baking pan.
  12. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
  13. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown.
  14. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
