WALNUT ROLL 
6 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
1/2 lb. butter
3 tbsp. sugar
3 eggs
1/2 pt. sour cream
2 pkgs. dry yeast
1/2 c. warm milk

In separate bowl, stir together yeast and milk to dissolve yeast. Combine flour, salt, butter and sugar. Mix well. Add eggs and sour cream. Mix well. Add yeast mixture and knead well until dough has a crackling sound and leaves hands clean. Divide dough into four parts and set aside.

NUT FILLING
1 1/2 lbs. ground walnuts (three 8 oz. cans)
2 c. sugar
3 egg whites, stiffly beaten

Beat egg whites, adding sugar gradually. Next add nuts. Add a little milk if too stiff to spread easily. (Divide filling evenly into 4 bowls.) Roll dough thin to a rectangle and spread nut filling over dough and roll up "jelly roll fashion" and place rolls into greased and floured jelly roll pan. Brush loaves with beaten egg yolks. Bake 35 to 45 minutes or until a nice deep brown in 350 degree oven.
