Nut Roll
Makes about 20

Dough:

1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter
4 eggs
1 package yeast (about 2-1/2 teaspoons)
1/4 cup warm water
4 cups flour
2 tsp. salt


Nut filling

4 cups chopped pecans or walnuts
1/2 cups sugar, half brown, half white
1 stick of melted butter
2 eggs, beaten

Cream sugar and butter together. Add eggs one at a time Dissolve 1 yeast in 1/4 cup warm water and add to creamed mixture. Sift 4 cups flour and 2 tsp. salt together. Add to mixture and mix. Place in greased bowl, cover and refrigerate overnight.

Mix all filling ingredients together.
Roll out 10" X 14" size dough, spread half of the nut filling on and roll up. Repeat with second dough roll. Seal edges, cover with towel and place in warm spot until dough rises, or for an hour, whichever comes first. Bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees. Brush with melted butter if desired the last fifteen minutes before roll is done.

My nut rolls didn't rise. My questions are: Should I kneed the dough before placing it in the refrigerator; is the dough suppose to rise in the refrigerator? After I took the dough out the next morning and rolled it out it still did not rise. I baked the rolls and they were hard. Where did I go wrong: five stars
