For the dough:

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup warm milk
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil or melted butter

• 1 teaspoon salt

For the filling:

• 1 1/2 cups finely chopped walnuts
• 2 tablespoons sugar

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.

5. Divide the dough into equal-sized balls. Roll each ball into a thin circle on a floured surface.
6. Spread the walnut filling evenly over the dough circle.
7. Fold and shape as desired (usually folded into a triangle or crescent shape).
8. Place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
9. Let rest for 15-20 minutes.
