●

Active dry yeast

11 g

●

Warm water

1 cup

●

White flour

600 g

●

Sugar

0.5 cups

●

Vanilla Extract

1 tbsp

●

Lemon zest

1 tbsp

●

Vinegar

1 tsp

●

Sunflower oil

200 ml

●

Chopped walnuts

250 g

●

Jam

5 tbsp

or whatever jam you have - may need more or less, depending on how liquid it is

Step by step

Step 1

Dissolve the yeast with half a glass of warm water and leave for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile, mix the flour with the sugar, vanilla, lemon peel and vinegar.

Step 3

Add the dissolved yeast in step 1.

Step 4

Then add the rest of the water (half a glass) and the oil. Mix the dough well with a spoon and you will see that it becomes uniform and becomes very pleasant to the touch.

Step 5

Take it out on the table and knead for about 10 minutes.

Step 6

Put the dough in a bowl or bag (make a small hole for air to escape through it) and leave it in the fridge for 1-2 hours.

Step 7

While the dough is resting, do your homework and quickly prepare the filling: mix the walnuts with the jam and mix well. I put some cherry jam ...

Step 8

And I added a few tablespoons of raspberry jam, for finer color and flavor. The filling should be thicker, but neither too dry nor too hard.

Step 9

Take the dough out of the fridge and divide it into 2 equal pieces. Spread a sheet about 2-3 mm thick (from each piece of dough), the size of the oven tray.

Step 10

Place the sheet in the tray greased with a little oil and spread it lightly with your hands to cover the entire surface. Pour the filling and start to spread it lightly on the dough.
