Make a well and pour in the yeast mixture. Add 1 egg yolk and the cream mixture, knead everything into a smooth yeast dough until it pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Cover and let rise for about 20 minutes, until the dough has roughly doubled in size. Meanwhile, finely chop the apricots. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Knead the dough thoroughly. Knead in the apricots and nuts, let the dough rest for about 5 minutes. Shape into rolls. Place on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and let rise for another 20 minutes.
