Recipe View 5 mins Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line baking trays with parchment paper. (5 minutes)

Recipe View 5 mins In a small bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Let stand until the yeast softens and becomes foamy, about 5 minutes.

Recipe View 15 mins In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup sugar, 1 cup melted butter, eggs, and salt. Stir in sour cream until well combined. Gradually add flour and the yeast mixture, mixing and kneading until the dough comes together into a smooth ball. Divide the dough into 7 equal pieces. (15 minutes)

Recipe View 10 mins In a separate large bowl, stir together remaining 1.25 cups melted butter and 1 cup sugar until the sugar is mostly dissolved. Add the ground walnuts, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Mix until the walnuts are evenly coated. Divide the filling into 7 equal portions. (10 minutes)

Recipe View 30 mins On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece of dough into a rectangle approximately 1/4-inch thick. Brush the top of each rectangle with beaten egg white. Spread one portion of the walnut filling evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges. Lightly brush the borders with egg white. Roll up the rectangle tightly, jelly-roll style. Place the roll, seam-side down, on the prepared baking sheet and brush the top with egg white. (30 minutes)
