Darázsfészek - wasp nests

Preparation steps

• a couple of dashes: -I used dry yeast -I used homemade almonds instead of walnuts for stuffing (because I don't like walnuts very much) -I used less milk for coating (because I haven't made cakes that way yet, so I was afraid I wouldn't everything will be gooey afterwards), I used room temperature milk and I came across some recipes in which warm milk is used for coating, before coating you can add one vanilla sugar to the milk - I used a medium high baking sheet
• - in a bowl in a little lukewarm milk melt the yeast together with a spoonful of sugar, cover with cling film and let the yeast activate - sift the flour into a bowl, make a depression in the flour and then add the activated yeast, egg yolks, salt and slowly add the lukewarm milk and knead dough until it becomes smooth and elastic (I needed to add two more tablespoons of flour). Shape the dough into a ball, coat a clean bowl with a little oil, put the dough in a bowl and cover it with cling film and leave it at room temperature until not doubled (some 40 minutes)
• -while the dough rises prepare the filling: -in the bowl mix the butter at room temperature together with the sugar and set aside -grind the almonds (they do not have to be completely finely ground)
• - line the baking tray with baking paper and coat it with a little softened butter sweet butter and then evenly sprinkle ground almonds on it - roll the dough into a roll and then cut the resulting roll into 12 pieces (I have two breasts thick and I got 12 pieces)
• -arrange the obtained snails in the prepared tray, but leave a little space between them -cover them with baking paper or cloth and leave them in a warm place to rise for another 30-40 minutes (until they double and fill the whole tray)
• -put them in a preheated oven at 180 C, bake for a total of 30-35 minutes, halfway through baking when they start to slowly turn red, take them out of the oven and coat them with milk (if desired, you can add one vanilla sugar to the milk for better aroma) and return them to the oven to bake until done (until golden brown)
• -Cool them a bit when you take them out of the oven and then cover them with a kitchen towel
• -before serving, you can sprinkle them with a little powdered sugar (nests are not very sweet, and they are not greasy, they are just fine, soft and tasty)
