Breakfast Nut Roll

This is one of my favorite recipes that I have been making for years—I even won a prize for it years ago. It's special not only because it tastes so good, but because it was passed down to me by my dear aunt.

16 ServingsPrep: 30 min. Bake: 25 min.

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup cold butter
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1/2 cups plus 1 teaspoon sugar, divided
1/4 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
2 eggs, separated
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Confectioners' sugar

Directions

In a large bowl, combine flour and salt; cut in butter until crumbly;
set aside. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar in
warm water; let stand 5 minutes. Beat egg yolks; add to yeast
mixture. Stir gently into flour mixture to form a smooth ball.
Turn dough onto a floured surface; divide in half. Roll each portion
into a 12-in. x 8-in. rectangle. In a small bowl, beat egg whites
and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Gradually add remaining sugar, a
tablespoon at a time, beating on high until stiff peaks form. Spread
over each rectangle; sprinkle with nuts.
Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with short side; pinch seams and
ends to seal. Place on a greased baking sheet. Cut a deep slit down
center of each roll (do not cut through).
Immediately bake at 375° for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
