Dry Yeast: 1.5 tsp (6 g)
Salt: 1 tsp (4 g)
Lukewarm Milk: 300 ml
Vegetable Oil: 2 Tbsp (30 ml)
Egg White: 1, beaten
For the Filling:
Crushed Walnuts: 200 g (about 2 cups)
Sugar: 80 g (about 1/3 cup)
Cinnamon: to taste (usually about 1 tsp)
Butter: 5 Tbsp, melted
For the Glaze:

Milk: 1 Tbsp
Steps How to Make It:
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine the lukewarm milk (about 37-40°C or 98-104°F) with the dry yeast and a teaspoon of sugar. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, until it becomes frothy.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, the remaining sugar, and salt. Mix well to ensure the salt and sugar are evenly distributed throughout the flour.
Combine Wet Ingredients: Once the yeast mixture is frothy, add it to the flour mixture along with the vegetable oil and the beaten egg white.
Knead the Dough: Mix the ingredients until a shaggy dough forms, then transfer it to a floured surface. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, you can add a little extra flour as needed.
First Rise: Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
