Fluffy Cinnamon Snail Rolls with Walnuts

First, weigh all ingredients. It is important that all ingredients are at room temperature so that the yeast dough can rise optimally. Separate one of the eggs and set aside the egg white for later decoration.

For the pre-dough, put 3 tbsp lukewarm milk into a cup. Add the sugar and crumble in the yeast. Stir in 3 tbsp flour until a thick paste forms. Let the pre-dough rise, covered, in a warm place for about 15 minutes.

Sift the remaining flour into a bowl and mix with the remaining sugar. Form a well in the center, add the remaining milk, a whole egg, and the pre-dough. Distribute 80 g of the soft butter in flakes around the edge. Knead everything into a smooth, pliable dough (approx. 10 minutes). Let the dough rise, covered, in a warm place for about 1 hour.
