How to bake a walnut roll? Prepare all the ingredients you need. How to knead a piece of dough? All ingredients stored in the refrigerator must be removed in advance (in 2-3 hours) so that they are at room temperature. Take a deep bowl, put sour cream and softened butter in it.

Add the sugar and a pinch of salt to balance the flavour. Mix the ingredients using a hand whisk or mixer.

Drive two chicken eggs into the bowl, mix the ingredients again until smooth. Pre-wash the eggs in warm water with soda, since there may be harmful bacteria on their surface.

Sift the wheat flour through a sieve, add baking powder to the flour, mix the dry ingredients and pour them into a bowl with the liquid mixture. Pour the flour not all at once, but add it in small portions, stirring the mass. You have to get a thick dough that will easily get together in a lump. Flour may need less or more, focus on the desired consistency of the dough.

Next, place the dough blank on a floured work surface and knead the elastic smooth dough. It is impossible to knead such dough for a long time, otherwise it can become firm and tasteless after baking. The main task is to assemble the dough into a pliable, dense ball. Wrap the dough in cling film and place it in the fridge for half an hour.
