Steps:
- 1. To make the dough: In a small bowl, mix together the yeast, sugar, and warm water, and let stand until foamy, 5 to 10 minutes.2. In a food processor, pulse together the flour and salt a few times to mix. Cut the butter into tablespoon-size chunks, add to the flour mixture, and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the yeast mixture and the egg, and process just until the dough forms a ball. Do not overprocess. (If working by hand, combine the flour and salt in a bowl and cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the yeast mixture and egg until the dough comes together.) Transfer the dough to a large, lightly greased bowl and turn the dough to grease the top. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour.3. To make the filling: In a small bowl, beat together the cream cheese, sugar, orange zest, and lemon zest until light and fluffy.4. To assemble: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it lightly and set aside.5. Remove the dough from the refrigerator. Divide the dough in half. Roll each portion into a 9-by-13-inch rectangle on a lightly floured board, between 2 sheets of parchment paper or heavy-duty plastic wrap, or on a pastry cloth with a cloth-covered rolling pin. Spread half the cream cheese mixture on each rectangle, then sprinkle each with 1/4 cup walnuts.6. Roll up each rectangle, starting with a long side, jelly roll fashion, and pinch the edges together to seal. Place seam side down on the prepared baking sheet. Using a sharp knife, make a lengthwise slit halfway through each roll. Sprinkle the exposed opening with the remaining 2 tablespoons nuts. Bake until lightly golden, about 25 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet. Dust with powdered sugar and slice each roll on the diagonal into 1-inch-wide pieces.VariationsFor Currant, Orange, and Pine Nut Walkaways, follow the main recipe.
