walnut roll
Filled sweet bread
A walnut roll is a sweet pastry made from yeasted dough rolled around a filling of ground walnuts, sugar, and sometimes honey or spices.
Popular in Central and Eastern European cuisines—Hungarian, Slovak, Croatian—it appears at holidays and celebrations.
The filling spreads across flattened dough, which is then rolled into a log and baked: Grandma's walnut roll was the centerpiece of every Christmas.
