Almond milk is lower in calories, while water can reduce richness.

Mix yeast with warm milk and sugar in a bowl; let sit until frothy, about 5-10 minutes.

Combine flour and salt in a large mixing bowl.

Add the yeast mixture, softened butter, eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract to the flour; mix until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, about 5-7 minutes.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1-2 hours.

Prepare the filling by mixing ground walnuts, honey, sugar, and vanilla in a bowl with the milk.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.

Spread the walnut filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border.

Roll the dough tightly from one end to the other, sealing the edges.

Place the rolled dough seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Brush the top with egg wash and let rise for another 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Bake the nut roll for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let cool before dusting with powdered sugar.
