Place in a greased pan 11" x 5", seam side down, prick about 10 times with a fork to release air. Brush with 1 egg yolk mixed with 1 Tbsp. of lowfat sour cream. Cover and let rise till double in bulk. Bake at 350 for 45 min to 1 hour. Other ball can be filled with other filling.
  3. NOTES : From Hermine Sostarich of Brookfield, Wisconsin:
  4. My mother, Barbara Suveljak Hosni and father, Thomas Frank Hosni, Sr., passed through Ellis Island in September 1913 from Austria-Hungary. My mother decided I should have some of her recipes. As a result, we did a "stop and measure" as she prepared Nut Roll.
