Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Line baking trays with parchment paper.

  3. In a small bowl, mix warm milk, yeast, and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Allow the mixture to stand until the yeast softens and forms a creamy foam, approximately 5 minutes.

  4. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of sugar, 1 cup of melted butter, 3 eggs, and salt. Stir in sour cream. Add flour and the yeast mixture. Mix and knead until the dough comes together. Divide the dough into 7 equal pieces.

  5. In a separate large bowl, stir together the remaining 2 cups of sugar and 1 1/4 cups of melted butter until the sugar dissolves. Mix in walnuts until coated. Stir in cinnamon and vanilla. Divide the filling into 7 equal amounts.

  6. Roll each piece of dough into a rectangle, approximately 1/4-inch thick. Brush the tops with beaten egg whites. Spread an equal amount of filling on top of each rectangle, leaving a border around the edges. Lightly brush the borders with egg whites. Roll up each rectangle lengthwise, jelly roll-style, and place each roll, seam-side down, onto the prepared baking trays. Brush the tops with egg whites.

  7. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30 minutes or until lightly browned. Allow the rolls to cool completely before slicing and serving
