First Dough:

• Dissolve 2 packages of yeast in 1/2 cup of warm water
• Mix 1 T of sugar to 1/2 cup of warm milk - until it's dissolved, and pour that into the yeast mixture
• Mix in the flour, cover and let rise for 30 minutes
  
• *the mixture will look bubbly and pasty like the image

Second Dough

To the first dough that has been rising:

• Add the 8 cups of flour, salt, sugar, sour cream, Milnot, egg yolks,  and vanilla
• *Melt the 1 and 1/2 sticks of margarine and mix it with the 1 cup of milk - allow to cool off before you add it to the yeast mixture
• Knead well - if dough is too stiff, add a little warm milk
• While kneading - add 2 T of Crisco
• Knead Well
• Place in a large greased bowl, cover well and let rise until doubled - at least 2 hours
  

Nut Filling: 

• Mill (chop)  2 pounds of walnuts  - my mom uses an old fashioned nut grinder - I used a food processor or blender
• Crush (mill) vanilla wafers
• IN a medium bowl, add 2 cups of sugar, vanilla and melted margarine to the nuts and wafers
• Mix well

Putting it all together

• After the dough has doubled, Punch the dough down
• Divide into 6 sections
• Knead each section into a smooth ball - I had to add some extra flour - it was pretty sticky
• Roll out onto a floured surface - ours rolled out were about 10"x16"
• Spread the nut mixture evenly over the rolled out dough
  
• *I found that about 3/4 per roll was an even amount of nut mixture divided
• Begin rolling tightly from far end toward yourself
  
• Place onto greased  cookie sheets (2 per sheet)
  
• Let rise about 1 hour - Preheat your oven to 350 degrees
  
• Brush with beaten egg whites (the ones you have from the 5 eggs) mixed with 1 Tbsp. water
• Bake at 350 degrees for 25 - 30 minutes
