Dissolve yeast in lukewarm milk with a teaspoon of sugar; let it foam (5–10 min).
In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, butter, eggs, salt, and yeast mixture.
Knead until smooth and elastic.
Divide dough into 3 equal parts, wrap, and let rest 30 minutes.
2. Prepare the Walnut Filling
In a pan, combine milk, sugar, walnuts, and cinnamon.
Heat slightly until sugar dissolves. Let cool.
3. Assemble the Layers
Roll out first portion of dough to fit the pan. Place in a greased or lined baking tray.
Spread ½ of the walnut filling evenly over the dough.
Roll out second dough portion and place on top.
Spread apricot jam evenly.
Roll out third dough portion and place on top.
4. Bake
Preheat oven to 180°C / 350°F.
Bake for 30–35 minutes until golden.
Let it cool completely in the pan.
5. Chocolate Glaze
Melt chocolate and butter together.
Pour over the cooled cake and spread evenly.
Let the glaze set before cutting into squares.
✨ Tips
Use fresh or high-quality apricot jam for the best flavor.
Chop walnuts slightly if you prefer texture.
For a richer flavor, soak the walnuts in a little rum or coffee before layering.
Slice with a sharp knife to get clean layers.
If you want, I can also create a Facebook-friendly step-by-step post or a video script showing each layer of Zserbó Szelet — it’s very visual and appealing!
