Date-Nut Rolls



1       8-ounce package  chopped dates
1/2           cup  water
2        tablespoons  lemon juice
2          teaspoons  grated lemon rind
1                cup  chopped walnuts
1                cup  milk
1                cup  butter or margarine
6               cups  all-purpose flour
2           packages  Fleischmann’s® Active Dry or Rapid Rise
Yeast
4                     eggs
2          teaspoons  vanilla extract
3          teaspoons  baking powder
3        tablespoons  sugar

Preheat oven to 350şF. Combine first four ingredients in a medium saucepan
over medium high heat; cook and stir until thickened, about 3 to 5
minutes. Stir in nuts; cool.

Combine 1 1/2 cups flour and yeast in large bowl of mixer. Heat milk and
butter until warm (125ş to 130şF). Add milk mixture to flour mixture; beat
at medium speed 2 minutes. Add eggs, vanilla and 1 cup flour; beat at
medium speed 2 minutes. Stir in baking powder, sugar and enough flour to
make a soft dough.

Divide dough into 6 equal pieces (3 equal pieces for 3 rolls). Roll each
piece to 9-inch square. Spread each with 1/2 cup filling to within
1/2-inch of edges; roll up. Pinch to seal bottom edge. Repeat with other
pieces of dough. Place 3 rolls on greased baking sheet and bake for 25
minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from baking sheet and cool on
wire rack. Repeat with remaining half of dough (if making 6 rolls).
