This is an old Slovak recipe. In Slovak it is called Roshky. The rolls are filled with lekvar, a thick, soft fruit spread. This is an all day project. This recipe will make 7 or 8 twelve inch loaves, or some dough may be reserved for lekvar squares.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 60 servings

  • 2 cups margarine

  • 6 eggs

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • 2 cups sour cream

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1 cup milk

  • 12 cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast

  • 1 pound ground walnuts

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 8 ounces apricot preserves

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ¼ cup butter, melted

  • 1 egg yolk

Directions

  1. Prepare two fillings. Mix together walnuts, 1 cup sugar, and 1/ 8 teaspoon cinnamon. In a separate bowl, mix lekvar with lemon juice and 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon.

  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup sugar, 2 cups butter or margarine, and 6 eggs. Mix well. Add sour cream, milk, flour, yeast, and salt. Beat thoroughly until dough does not stick to hands.

  6. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
