Kolač-- A Nut-filled Roll That Looks Like A Jelly Roll
1. Use the same sweet-dough recipe as for the caramel-topped rolls.
2. After dough has doubled in bulk, punch down and divide into 4 parts. Then divide each of the 4 parts into 2 parts, thus yielding 8 parts.
3. Roll out each part (one at a time) the the size of a cookie sheet (10 x 15). The rolled-out dough will be very thin.
4. Coat the rolled-out dough generously with margerine and then with the nut paste described below.
5. Roll up dough like a jelly roll and place it with seam down on the 10 x 15 cookie sheet. The cookie sheet can hold two rolls.
6. Place in oven immediately and bake at 350 to 375 for 25 minutes.
