Recipe(tried): Hungarian Dios (nut bread/rolls using hot roll mix)

My Hungarian grandmaother made this every year, and she taught my mother, who taught me. I have been doing this recipe every Christmas for many, many years. It works, it is good, and the only difference is, I make 4 loaves, rather than one, large loaf, which is what my grandmother used to do.

HUNGARIAN DIOS

DOUGH:
1 Pillsbury Hot Roll Mix
1 stick of butter (room temp)
1 egg (room temp)

FILLING:
1 (2 lb.) bag of whole walnuts for 2 cups of chopped walnuts*
3/4 stick of butter
3/4 cup of sugar
3/4 cup of milk

* - walnuts need to be shelled and chopped in a food processor, or by hand, but not too fine. The idea is to keep it chunky but not too big.

Prepare Hot Roll Mix according to directions. Rise once.

Before preparing the dough, do the filling:
mix the sugar, milk and walnuts in a pan, and bring slowly to boil, stirring frequently. As soon as it boils, remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.

Prepare the dough according to directions on the box. After the dough has risen once, punch it down an cut in one stick of butter to the dough, adding flour after incorporated to keep the dough from being too sticky.

Roll out dough to a rectangle, and then cut into four small rectangles. Divide the filling evenly into the four doughs along one edge. Roll each dough into a roll, and seal the edges as best as possible. Place each roll into a small bread pan, and then let each one rise once.

When the rolls have risen, bake in a 350 degree oven for 20-30 minutes until the top is golden brown.

Turn out of the pans, and let cool on a rack. Slice while still warm, and serve with milk or coffee.
