I have a similar recipe for nut roll but my rolls break open right in the middle on the top, would you know why that would do that, I have made this recipe many times and it always broke open on the sides but never on the top, if you can help I would appreciate it, thanks.

I had my mothers recipe for nut rolls and lost it. Made them 2 years ago but mine did the same prior so the last time I made them I only made the small horns and they worked out better. Cut square dough into 6x6 squares and filled them with the nut mixture and the prune mixture and took the 2 ends and squeezed them together. All the recipes on the internet I do not recognize.
