• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 cup brown sugar

   In a bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until frothy.

2. 2

   In a separate bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and vegetable oil. Mix until a dough forms.

3. 3

   Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Place in an oiled bowl, cover with a cloth, and let rise for 1 hour.

   While the dough rises, prepare the filling by mixing brown sugar, chopped nuts, and cinnamon in a bowl.

   After the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 6 equal pieces. Flatten each piece into a circle.
