SLOVAK NUT ROLL 
DOUGH:

1/2 lb. butter
1/2 lb. cottage cheese
1 1/2 c. flour

Mix above ingredients thoroughly; refrigerate overnight. Divide dough into 3 parts. Use flour to roll out dough thin enough to roll. Fill; bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until brown.

FILLING #1:
1 1/2 c. chopped walnuts (apples & raisins can be added to equal 1 1/2 c.)
1 c. sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon

FILLING #2:
2 tbsp. butter
10 oz. poppy seed, ground twice
2 tbsp. honey
2 tsp. lemon juice or vanilla extract
1/4 c. raisins, steamed
2 egg whites
1/2 c. sugar

Melt butter in saucepan. Add poppy seed; stir fry 3 minutes. Add honey, lemon juice and raisins to poppy seed. Cover and remove from heat; let stand 10 minutes. Beat egg whites with sugar until stiff, not dry, peaks form. Gently fold in poppy seed mixture.

Spread filling over whole area of dough. Roll up, jelly roll fashion. Seal edges. Place on greased baking sheets. Make a few slits in top for steam to escape. Bake as instructed above.

ICING: (if desired)
1 c. confectioners' sugar
2 tbsp. lemon juice

Blend until smooth; spread over rolls
