Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Dissolve the sugar in the lukewarm milk, then add the yeast. Mix the remaining dough ingredients with the yeast mixture and knead thoroughly. Cover the dough with a dish cloth and leave to rise for about 30 minutes.
* Step 2
Whilst the dough is resting make the walnut filling. In a small pan mix milk, sugar, vanilla and bring to a boil. Add the lemon zest, raisins, cinnamon, nuts, and apricot jam. Stir, then put it aside to cool. Divide the dough into four and roll out each piece into a rectangle measuring about 12 x 14 inches/30 x 35 cm.
* Step 3
Spread the dough with the walnut filling and roll up lengthwise. Line your baking sheet with baking paper (parchment paper) and carefully transfer the rolls onto the sheet and brush with egg yolk.
* Step 4
Bake in a preheated 180c oven for about 35-45 minutes or until golden brown. If kept covered and stored in a cool, dry place your beigli will stay fresh for a long time. Sprinkle with icing sugar and slice just before serving.
