Roll out the secound piece of dough. Put it on the first layer and the jam-walnut-sugar mix.
Put the remained jam on it and sprinkle with the remained walnut.
Roll out the third layer. Put on the top.
Cover the baking tin with a tea towel and allow to rise the dough for 1 and and half hours, in room temperature.
