Easter roll with nuts and raisins
Description
Homemade pastries for tea. The specified amount of ingredients will yield two large rolls, enough to feed your family and guests. In this case, only walnuts are used, but you can add almonds, cashews, or mixed nuts to make the filling even more interesting. There's just a little raisin here, but that's to my taste—you can add more if you prefer. Serve with tea or coffee.

2. Knead the dough thoroughly by hand until it becomes soft and elastic. It's better not to add all the flour at once, but to incorporate it as needed.
