This is the recipe from my Grandmother for nut roll.
Stir yeast into water. Mix butter, milk, sugar, and salt. Add egg
yolks, yeast mixture and 2 cup flour. Mix thoroughly. Add remaining
flour and turn dough out on a floured surface. Knead until smooth, elastic
and does not stick to surface. Place in greased bowl and let rise 1
hour. After it has risen, divide into 4 equal parts. Do not knead. Roll
each piece to about 1/8 inch thick.
Spread with cooled filling. Roll jelly-roll style and place seam down in a
greased pan. Let rise for 1 hour. Bake 40 - 45 minutes at 350F.
Filling:
Mix milk, salt, margarine and sugar. Heat slightly until margarine melts
and sugar is dissolved. Add nuts then to stretch mixture you can fold in
beaten egg whites.
