SLOVAK NUT ROLLS
This is an old Slovak recipe. In Slovak it is called Roshky. The rolls are filled with lekvar, a thick, soft fruit spread. This is an all day project. This recipe will make 7 or 8 twelve inch loaves, or some dough may be reserved for lekvar squares.

- 8. Variation: Cultural Explosion: For my Cream Cheese and Guava filling, take a four ounce package of cream cheese the small one, leave out to soften, then add 1/4 cup powdered sugar and blend in well. The cheese should be very soft to spread easily Spread this cream cheese on the dough, then take guava marmalade (Conchita, Ancel or Goya are brands I buy in the Latin food markets) Guava marmalade comes in a can. Take a large tablespoon and put a few spoonfulls of the marmalade over the cream cheese and spred all over the cream cheese. Then roll jelly roll fashion. Pinch edges or fold under so spread wont come out. Follow the recipe above and bake. Delicious.
Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and ensure that your nut rolls turn out perfectly.
- Use Fresh Yeast: Active dry yeast is the most common type of yeast used in baking, and it's important to make sure that it's fresh. If your yeast is old, it may not be able to activate properly and your nut rolls will not rise.
- Proof the Yeast: Before you add the yeast to the dough, you need to proof it. This means activating the yeast in warm water with a little bit of sugar. This will help to ensure that the yeast is active and will help your nut rolls to rise properly.
- Knead the Dough Properly: Kneading the dough is an important step in the process of making nut rolls. It helps to develop the gluten in the flour, which gives the rolls their structure and elasticity. Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
- Let the Dough Rise: After you have kneaded the dough, you need to let it rise. This will give the yeast time to work and the dough to double in size. Cover the dough with plastic wrap or a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour.
- Roll the Dough Thin: When you are ready to shape the nut rolls, you need to roll the dough out into a thin sheet. This will help to ensure that the rolls are cooked evenly. Roll the dough out to about 1/8-inch thick.
- Spread the Filling Evenly: When you are spreading the nut filling on the dough, make sure to do it evenly. This will help to ensure that each roll has the same amount of filling.
- Roll the Rolls Tightly: When you are rolling up the nut rolls, make sure to do it tightly. This will help to keep the filling inside the rolls and prevent them from falling apart.
- Bake the Rolls at the Right Temperature: The temperature of your oven is important for baking nut rolls. The rolls should be baked at a temperature of 375 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
Conclusion:
Slovak nut rolls are a delicious and festive treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for special occasions or as a simple snack. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make these delicious rolls at home. So next time you are looking for a tasty and unique treat, give Slovak nut rolls a try.
