Nut Roll
"This is my favorite nut roll recipe, because it comes out great every time. I have included recipes for two different fillings (Pecan and Maple Walnut). Each of the filling recipes will make enough to fill 4 nut rolls. These are a nice treat for breakfast/brunch :) Prep time includes rising time."

This is an excellent dough recipe which my mother made for years and now I make it<br/>every year. The other review mentioned only seeing that you need 3 cups of flour. That<br/>is initially. After you add the third cup of flour at step 11, notice step 13. You need to<br/>keep adding additional flour, about a cup at a time, until the dough is just right. You know<br/>you have enough flour when the dough pulls away from the sides of the mixing bowl and<br/>stays together and feels nice and smooth. I can't comment on the filling, though, because<br/>it is different from my walnut filling recipe. Mine is: Grind 8 cups of walnuts. Then in a large<br/>bowl beat 8 egg whites until stiff. Gradually add 1 1/2 cups sugar and 1 tsp. vanilla. <br/>Gradually add the 8 cups of ground walnuts. Excellent walnut filling recipe. -
dough ingredients say 6-7 cups flour, however, directions only call for 3 cups being added. Now I question the entire recipe's quantities.
