Special equipment needed:
- Stand mixer with dough hook attachment
- Baking sheet

Step-by-step instructions:

1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let sit for 5 minutes until the yeast is activated.

3. Increase the speed to medium and knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

4. Cover the bowl with a damp towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour.

5. Preheat the oven to 375°F.

6. On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle shape.

7. Sprinkle chopped walnuts over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.

8. Roll up the dough tightly, starting from the long side.

9. Cut the dough into 12 equal pieces.

10. Place the pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

11. Brush the tops of the fartons with brewed coffee.
