Time 41m

Yield 2 cakes, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 1/2 cups chopped walnuts
1 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup butter
1 egg
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 (1/3 ounce) packet quick-rising yeast
1/4 cup warm water, to activate yeast 105-115 degree's
3/4 cup scalded milk, then cooled before adding to yeast
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup sugar
3 eggs
4 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon softened butter
1 -2 tablespoon milk

Steps:

  • 1 Make the filling. Mix all ingredients together except egg set aside.
  • 2 Place the yeast in a large bowl with the 1/4 cup of warm water. Wait for yeast to activate. You will see bubbles,and foamy looking top on it. If it doesn't appear to activate. Add a teaspoon of sugar to test. It may activate after adding sugar.Make sure water is not to hot or to cool. Warm not lukewarm,or hot!
  • 3 Stir in the milk,butter,sugar,eggs,salt,and 3 cups of the flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough of the remaining flour to make the dough easy to handle.
  • 4 Put dough on lightly floured surface and start kneading. Knead until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl turning to greased side up. Let rise until double in size in a warm place. Hint: winter can be tough. You can place the bowl of dough over a bowl of hot water covered with a rack to support the bread bowl. Cover the bowls with a towel to trap warmth from the water like a tent. This helps it rise better in the Winter months. 1-1/2-2 hours.
  • 5 Remove dough from bowl after it has risen double in size. Punch the dough down with fist. Divide the dough in half. Lightly flour surface. Roll each half of dough in to a rectangle 12 x 15 inches long.
  • 6 When ready to use filling add the beaten egg to filling. Divide filling and spread over the 2 rectangles. Roll dough tightly by the long side of rectangle that is 15 inches.Pinch dough to seal where the dough ends. Repeat with other rectangle. Stretch the roll to even it out.
  • 7 Place each Roll on a lightly greased sheet pan. Coil the dough in a circle until the coil ends. Cover and let rise until double in size. About an hour. Heat oven to 350 degree's about 40 minutes or until browned. Brush cake with butter,and glaze.

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups Bisquick
1 lb monterey jack cheese, shredded
1 1/4 cups onions, chopped
5 eggs
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup cornmeal

Tips:

  • Choose fresh ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the final product. Use fresh, high-quality flour, sugar, butter, eggs, and spices.
  • Pay attention to measurements: Baking is a precise science, so it's important to measure your ingredients accurately. Use a kitchen scale to weigh your ingredients for the most accurate results.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the bread tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together, then stop.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: The dough needs a warm place to rise in order to double in size. You can place the dough in a warm oven, on top of the stove, or in a sunny spot.
  • Bake the bread until it is golden brown: The bread is done baking when it is golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
