Instructions
Make the dough: Combine 3 tablespoons flour and 1 teaspoon sugar in a small mixing bowl. Add yeast
then add 1/4 cup warm mix and mix well; let stand until creamy
about 10 minutes.
Beat butter with remaining sugar in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Add egg yolks
one at a time
beating well after each addition. Add yeast mixture
1 1/3 cups milk
and salt; mix well.
Add remaining flour
1/2 cup at a time
mixing well after each addition. When dough has pulled together
turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic
about 8 minutes.
Lightly oil a large bowl. Place dough into the greased bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume
about 1 hour.
Lightly grease two rimmed baking sheets. Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide into two equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rectangle about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
Spread filling ingredients over dough in the following order: melted butter
honey
raisins
and walnuts. Sprinkle cinnamon over top. Roll each piece up and over filling like a jelly roll
pinching the ends to seal. Transfer loaves
seam-side down
to the prepared baking sheets. Let rise until doubled in volume
45 minutes to 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Bake loaves in the preheated oven until golden brown on top
