                            Nut Roll


     Basic Sweet Dough

Ingredients:
2 tsp sugar                   2 whole eggs
1/3 cup lukewarm water        3 to 4 egg yolks
2 packages yeast              1 tsp salt
3/4 cup scalded milk, lukewarm
1 tsp vanilla                 3/4 cup flour
grated rind of one lemon      1/2 cup butter
4 1/2 - 5 cups sifted flour   1/2 cup sugar

Directions:
Dissolve the sugar in the lukewarm water, sprinkle the yeast over it,
and let it stand until softened.  Combine with the lukewarm milk and
3/4 cup of flour.  Beat well, cover, and let the sponge rise in a warm
place until light and bubbly.  Cream the butter with the sugar.  Beat
the whole eggs and the egg yolks together along with the salt.  Combine
with the butter-sugar mixture and beat thoroughly.  Stir in the
vanilla, lemon rind and sponge.  Add the flour and knead in the bowl
for about 10 minutes.  This dough should be soft.  Cover and let it
rise in a warm place until double in bulk.  Punch down, knead a few
times, and let it rise again.  Form into a desired shape.  Bake as
directed for the selected shape.

     Nut/Poppy Seed Filling

Ingredients:

1 cup poppy seed         1/2 cup chopped nuts
1/3 cup honey            1 egg white
1 tsp grated lemon rind

Directions:
Pour boiling water over the poppy seed and drain.  Cover with lukewarm
water and soak for 30 minutes or longer.  Drain over a fine sieve.
Grind the poppy seed.  Add the honey, grated lemon rind, and nuts.
Beat the egg white until stiff and fold into the mixture.

You need to double this filling if you plan to use all the dough.

     Bringing it all together

Roll out dough thin in a rectangle.  Spread filling over dough.
Roll dough and try to keep the roll even in size.

Bake at 375F for 10 minutes, then lower the temperature to 350F
and bake for about 30 minutes, or until done.
