Nut Roll in a dry cooker - a traditional recipe, full of flavor and memories, perfect for bringing a touch of magic to any occasion. The nut roll is more than just a simple dessert; it symbolizes family gatherings around the table, a gift of love and the patience put into it. In this recipe, I will guide you step by step to achieve a fluffy nut roll, filled with rich nuts and raisins, in a dry cooker that will surely become the star of your table. Preparation time: 1 hour Baking time: 30-40 minutes Total time: 1 hour and 40 minutes Number of servings: 2 large nut rolls Ingredients For the dough: - 1 kg flour (preferably type 000, for a fluffy dough) - 2 cubes of fresh yeast (about 40 g) - 500 ml full-fat milk (at room temperature) - 200 g butter (preferably unsalted, to control the salt in the recipe) - 250 g granulated sugar - 6 egg yolks - A pinch of salt - Rum essence (or another preferred flavor) - Zest of 1 lemon and 1 orange (for a fresh taste) - 3 packets of vanilla sugar - Turkish delight (cut into cubes) - Raisins soaked in brandy For the nut filling: - 600 g walnuts (preferably fresh, for an intense flavor) - 10 heaping tablespoons of cocoa (choose quality cocoa for an intense taste) - 600 g powdered sugar - 500-600 ml milk (to achieve the desired consistency) Step by Step 1. Preparing the ingredients: The night before, take all the ingredients out of the fridge so they can reach room temperature. This small detail helps activate the yeast and achieve a fluffier dough. 2. Sifting the flour: Sift the flour three times. Why? Sifting helps aerate the flour and remove any impurities, resulting in a lighter, fluffier dough. 3. Preparing the milk: In a pan, mix the milk with sugar, essences, and vanilla sugar. Heat on low, stirring constantly, until the sugar completely dissolves. Then, let it cool slightly. 4. Preparing the yeast starter: In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast with 1 teaspoon of sugar, 2 tablespoons of flour, and 2-3 tablespoons of warm milk. Cover and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in volume. 5. The dough: Make a well in the center of the sifted flour and add the risen yeast starter. Gradually pour in the warm milk (not hot) and add the melted butter (but not hot!). Mix the egg yolks with the citrus zest and add them to the dough. Mix everything well. 6. Kneading: Knead the dough for about 40 minutes. This is an important process, so don’t rush! During kneading, moisten your hands in melted butter to make the dough easier to shape. Add the cubes of Turkish delight and soaked raisins, ensuring they are evenly distributed. 7. First rise: Place the ball of dough in a large, clean bowl, cover it with a towel, and place it in a warm spot for about 60 minutes, or until it doubles in volume. 8. Preparing the filling: While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. Roast the walnuts in the oven for a few minutes to intensify their flavor. Grind one-third of the walnuts and chop the rest into small pieces. Mix the ground walnuts with sugar, cocoa, and milk until you achieve a smooth paste. 9. Shaping the nut rolls: After the dough has risen, divide it into two. Place each part on a floured work surface and roll it out into a rectangle. Spread the filling on each dough and roll it up. Braid the two rolls and place them in the nut roll molds. 10. Second rise: Let the nut rolls rise for 30-40 minutes, covered with a damp towel. 11. Baking: Preheat the oven to 180°C. Brush the nut rolls with a beaten egg and bake for 30-40 minutes. Check if they are done using the toothpick method – if it comes out clean, the nut rolls are ready! After removing them from the oven, let them cool in the slightly ajar oven to prevent cracking. Serving Suggestions The nut roll is delicious served plain, but it can be accompanied by a cup of coffee or fragrant tea. Additionally, vanilla ice cream or a light whipped cream can make this dessert even more delightful. Frequently Asked Questions Can I use whole wheat flour? Yes, but keep in mind that the texture will be different and the nut roll will be denser. How can I keep the nut roll fresh? You can store it in an airtight container at room temperature. It can also be frozen for a longer duration. What other fillings can I use? You can experiment with chocolate, poppy seed, or candied fruit fillings. Nutritional Benefits The nut roll provides a good source of healthy fats from walnuts and is full of energy due to the sugar and carbohydrates from the flour. It also contains essential vitamins and minerals from eggs and milk. Personal Note This nut roll recipe is one of my dearest childhood memories. I spent many weekends learning from my grandmother how to make this delight, and now, every piece of nut roll reminds me of the moments spent together. I encourage you to add your own story to every nut roll you make! Experiment, adapt, and enjoy every step of this recipe! The nut roll is not just a dessert, but an experience, a family tradition worth sharing. Enjoy your meal!
