Mix warm milk and sugar in a bowl until dissolved.

Sprinkle yeast over the milk mixture and let sit until foamy, about 5-10 minutes.

In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, and cinnamon.

Add the yeast mixture, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the flour mixture.

Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, about 8-10 minutes.

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

Prepare the nut filling by mixing ground nuts, sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle.

Spread the nut filling evenly over the dough.

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

Place the roll seam-side down on a greased baking sheet.

Cover and let rise for another 30-45 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Brush the roll with egg wash before baking.

Bake until golden brown, about 30-35 minutes.

Allow to cool before dusting with powdered sugar.
