Mix flour, yeast, and salt in a bowl.

Melt butter and combine with sugar and water until dissolved.

Add eggs and milk to the butter mixture and whisk until smooth.

Gradually add the wet mixture to the flour, mixing until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, about 5-10 minutes.

Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Roll out the dough into thin sheets on a floured surface.

Layer sheets in a greased baking dish, brushing each with melted butter.

Sprinkle a mixture of chopped nuts, cinnamon, and honey between layers.

Fold the edges of the dough over the filling and cut into diamond shapes.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 25-30 minutes.

Remove from the oven and drizzle with honey or syrup while hot.

Let cool before dusting with powdered sugar.
