Mix flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.

Add warm water gradually, stirring until a dough forms.

Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Divide the dough into equal pieces and shape into small figures resembling the number 8.

Boil water in a large pot and gently drop in the shaped dough.

Cook until they float to the surface, about 3-4 minutes, then remove and drain.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Place the boiled dough shapes on a baking sheet and bake until golden, about 15-20 minutes.

Prepare the topping by mixing ground walnuts, honey, vanilla, and cinnamon in a bowl.

Drizzle the walnut mixture over the baked dough shapes.

Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally dusted with powdered sugar.
