I had to alter the dough, so could of been perfect, because my baking pan was not big enough after adding more flour /yeast in
and I added walnuts to fillings, excellent recipe and delicious , wanted to add pics but didn’t know how!!

That was addressed in the body of the post.

This recipe was great, but I failed. I’m giving it 5 stars, because if I could count, it would have turned out perfectly. I didn’t cut the dough enough and didn’t end up with enough star points, so it didn’t bake all the way. The outside and top layers were beautiful! It tasted great too. So next time, I’ll get my calculator out. The directions were detailed and easy to follow! Thank you for the recipe!

Put it in a warm place to rise. Lowest possible setting on your oven or cover it with plastic and place in the laundry room.

I do

I have loved all of your recipes & this one is going in the book also! I was afraid to try but it wasn’t that difficult as it seemed. It came out of the oven as a BEAST!!! This will make a great Christmas gift-can’t wait to do another one.
Thank you for all the great recipes & tips.

I’d definitely punch it down after BOTH risings.
