Put the walnuts in a food processor and process until coarsely ground.
- 2
Melt 3/4 cup butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in 1/2 cup sugar until it dissolves, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat. Add the ground walnuts and maple flavoring, then stir to combine.
- 3
Stir together 2 cups flour, yeast, 3 tablespoons sugar, and salt in a bowl.
- 4
Combine sour cream, 1 cup butter, and water in a saucepan over low heat. Warm just until melted, about 2 minutes; do not let it boil. Remove from the heat and let stand until cool enough to dip a finger in, about 3 minutes.
- 5
Slowly add the sour cream mixture to the flour mixture. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes, scraping the bowl as you go. Add the eggs and 1 additional cup flour; stir briefly to combine. Beat on high speed for 2 minutes more. Stir in the remaining flour 1 cup at a time until a soft dough forms.
- 6
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface; knead it several times and shape it into a ball. Let it rise for 10 minutes. Grease 2 jelly roll pans.
- 7
Divide the dough into 4 pieces; roll each into a 14x12-inch rectangle. Spread 1/4 of the filling over each rectangle, leaving a 1-inch border on all edges. Roll each up lengthwise, jelly-roll style; pinch the seams to seal. Place seam-side down on the prepared pans. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
- 8
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- 9
Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 35 minutes. Transfer the rolls to a rack to cool completely, 2 to 3 hours.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
