   Remove the butter from the refrigerator in advance – it should be softened.
   Heat the milk until warm (however, its temperature should not exceed 40 ° C, so that the yeast does not lose its strength).
2. Knead the dough. To do this, crush the yeast into a bowl and pour in warm milk. Stir well to dissolve the yeast.
3. Add egg, sugar, softened butter, vanilla sugar and salt. Stir with a whisk to dissolve the sugar.
4. Pour in the sifted flour (for a start, 2 incomplete glasses).
5. Knead a very soft and sufficiently sticky dough. Knead the dough directly in the bowl for about 10 minutes. The amount of flour may vary slightly depending on the strength, so if the dough is too sticky, stir in a little more flour.

   

6. Cover the bowl with the dough with a damp towel or plastic wrap and leave warm for 1 hour to rise.
7. Take care of the filling. Pour the nuts into a frying pan and fry them for 5-7 minutes over moderate heat, stirring occasionally.

15. Wrap the remaining free area of ​​the dough and lay on top.
16. Roll out the folded layer of dough again with a rolling pin to a thickness of 1 cm.
17. Cut the resulting rectangle of dough with filling across into strips about 2-3 cm wide.
