Time 2h15m

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 18

Ingredients

2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
warm water as needed
¾ cup white sugar
½ cup shortening (such as Crisco®)
1 ½ tablespoons shortening (such as Crisco®)
½ cup butter, melted
5 egg yolks
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla-butternut flavoring
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon salt
8 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups warm milk
6 egg whites
8 cups chopped pecans
¾ cup white sugar
½ cup honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

Dissolve yeast in warm water in a bowl according to package instructions. Let stand until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes.
While yeast softens, combine sugar, 1/2 cup plus 1 1/2 tablespoons shortening, butter, egg yolks, egg, vanilla-butternut flavoring, nutmeg, and salt in a mixing bowl. Beat using an electric mixer until creamy and thoroughly combined.
Combine flour, milk, and yeast mixture in a separate bowl; mix into egg mixture until well combined and a dough forms. Set aside to rise in a warm area until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Knead risen dough down gently; cut into 4 equal pieces. Set the pieces aside and let rise for an additional 20 minutes.
While rolls rise, beat egg whites using an electric mixer in a mixing bowl until stiff. Add pecans, sugar, honey, and vanilla extract; beat to combine.
Roll out each piece of dough using a lightly floured rolling pin on a lightly floured work surface, to approximately 13x18-inch rectangles, 1/4-inch thick.
Spread pecan mixture approximately 1/4-inch thick onto the dough. Roll up dough, beginning from the side. Place rolls 2 1/2-inches apart on a rimmed baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 45 minutes.

Tips:

To make the dough easier to handle, chill it for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out.
If the dough is too sticky, add more flour 1 tablespoon at a time until it is no longer sticky.
To make the filling, use a food processor or blender to chop the nuts and seeds until they are finely ground.
Be careful not to overfill the rolls, or they will burst open during baking.
Bake the rolls until they are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Serve the rolls warm or at room temperature.

Conclusion:

Budapest rolls are a delicious and versatile pastry that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be filled with a variety of different fillings, making them a great option for any occasion.
