    What does it taste like? Is the walnut subtle or firmly present

    Here is the Recipe:)

    500g flour
    11g yeast (1 tablespoon)
    140g milk
    140g water
    50g sugar
    10g fine salt
    55g cold butter (1/4 cup)

    Mix warm water (around 100-115 F, or 38C-46C) sugar and yeast together, while it sits for a min add your milk salt etc. Then add your flour a cup at a time while mixing. Once the flours added begin slowly adding small chunks of cold butter to your dough and let it mix for like 15 minutes.

    Let rise in a warm space with a paper towel on top that is wet with warm water (not dripping, just get it wet, squeeze it and place it over the top of the bowl.) I like to turn the over on for 30 seconds, turn it off, open it for a minute and then add the bowl of dough to sit for an hour or two. It should double in size at least. I also like to score the top so it rises more evenly.

    For the filling I just kind of made it up, but it’s easy to make and you can adjust the ingredients to your preference. It should make a smoothish paste that spreads relatively easily, like a grainier version of peanut butter.

    2-3 cups of walnuts (the more the better!)
    around 50 grams of melted butter
    a small splash of almond extract
    an egg yolk
    splash of milk
    cinnamon to taste
    nutmeg if you like it
    a few tablespoons of brown sugar
    some vanilla paste

    I blended the walnuts first and added the rest of the ingredients once it was a smooth paste.

    I rolled out the dough to my desired thickness on a floured surface, I rolled it out pretty thin, it definitely was not paper thin though! It took up quite a bit of counter space around 22×22 inches. I then spread the walnut paste all over to the edges, cut the slab of dough it half and rolled up each side. I twisted them together and placed it in the buttered pan, i used a 5×9 glass pan (13x23cm)

    I loosely covered in clear wrap and let it proof for 2-3 hours.

    Finally I egg washed it and baked at 325F (162C) for 50 min!
