Wipe oil over and leave in refrigerator overnight or at least 5-6 hours covered. Remove from refrigerator and let stand 1-2 hours to warm & get pliable. Prepare filling: Make filling by mixing milk, butter and walnuts to make a “paste”. Add more milk if needed if too hard to spread. Roll dough to 23 x 40 inches and spread filling over dough. Roll up and cut into 5-6 loaves. Let loaves rise 1 hour. Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour 10 minutes.
