Walnut Roll Gužvara

Name: Walnut Roll Gužvara
Total time: 18 min
Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: Croatian
Ingredients: 450g Flour; 55g Caster Sugar; 2 parts Yeast; 1/2 tsp Salt; 6 oz Milk; 2 Beaten Eggs; 30g Butter; 140g Walnuts; 85g Butter; 85g Brown Sugar; 1 tsp Cinnamon; To Glaze Milk; To Glaze Icing Sugar

Gužvara is a sweet, yeasted walnut roll, a classic Croatian treat. It features a rich dough, kneaded and allowed to rise twice, wrapped around a spiced filling of walnuts, butter, and brown sugar. After baking to a deep golden brown, it gets a final brush of milk and a dusting of powdered sugar. The two rises ensure a light, airy texture for the finished bread.

Prepare and Rise Dough
Combine all the dough ingredients and knead well until smooth. Cover the dough and set it aside to rise until it has doubled in size, which should take about 2 hours. Once risen, gently punch down the dough and knead it lightly.

Conch Stew

Divide the dough into two equal pieces. Roll each piece into an oblong, roughly 12 inches by 8 inches. Mix the filling ingredients together, then divide and spread this mixture evenly over each dough oblong. Roll up the oblongs as tightly as you can to form two 12-inch 'sausages'.

03

Second Rise and Bake

Arrange these dough rolls side by side, touching each other, on a greased baking sheet. Cover them and let them rise for about 40 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 200ºC (425ºF). Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the rolls are well risen, deeply golden brown, and sound hollow when tapped on the base.

04

Glaze and Finish

Remove the hot bread from the oven and immediately brush the top with milk. Sift a generous covering of icing sugar over the top before serving.
