Method

  1. 1

    Mix all the dough ingredients together and knead well. Cover and leave to rise until doubled in size, about 2 hours.

  2. 2

    Knock back the dough and knead lightly. Divide into two equal pieces. Roll each into an oblong roughly 30 x 20cm.

  3. 3

    Mix the walnuts, butter, brown sugar and cinnamon together for the filling. Divide between the two oblongs and spread evenly.

  4. 4

    Roll each oblong up as tightly as possible into a 30cm sausage. Place the two rolls side by side on a greased baking sheet, touching each other. Cover and leave to rise for 40 minutes.

  5. 5

    Heat oven to 200C / 425F. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until well risen and golden brown. The bread should sound hollow when the base is tapped.

  6. 6

    Remove from the oven and immediately brush the top with milk, then sift a generous layer of icing sugar over the hot rolls.
