Instructions
- In a large bowl, stir together 3 cups all-purpose flour and 1 tablespoon active dry yeast.
- Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold, unsalted butter (cut into bits) with a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
- Stir in 3 large egg yolks and 1 cup sour cream until the dough comes together.
- Form the dough into a ball, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator overnight.
- The next day, preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a cookie sheet (or cookie sheets) well.
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup finely chopped walnuts and One 12-ounce package mini-chocolate chips. In a small bowl, mix ½ cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- Remove the chilled dough and divide it into four equal portions; form each portion into a ball. Keep the three portions you are not using refrigerated while you work with one portion at a time.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll one dough ball into a thin rectangle large enough to spread jam and roll up (leave a small border along one long edge).
- Spread a thin, even layer of the One 8-ounce jar raspberry jam over the dough rectangle, leaving that small border. Use about one quarter of the jar for this piece.
- Evenly sprinkle one quarter of the walnut–chocolate chip mixture over the jam.
- Fold the short edges in slightly to help contain the filling, then roll the dough from the long edge into a tight log. Place the log seam-side down on the prepared cookie sheet.
- Brush the top of the log with some of the melted butter (use ¼ to ⅓ cup melted butter total for all logs) and sprinkle with one quarter of the cinnamon–sugar mixture.
- Bake the log for 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it sit on the cookie sheet for 10 minutes.
- After the 10-minute rest, slice the baked log on the diagonal into 1-inch slices.
- Repeat steps 8–14 with the remaining three dough portions, using the remaining jam, walnut–chocolate mixture, cinnamon–sugar mixture, and melted butter, and bake as directed.
