1 cup milk, room temperature 1 egg, beaten 2 T butter, softened 1 1/2 tsp salt 3 T white sugar 3 cups bread flour 2 tsp bread machine yeast Filling: 3 T butter, melted 2/3 cup brown sugar 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon 1 cup chopped walnuts 1 cup raisins Topping: 1 egg, beaten 1 T water 1/2 cup chopped walnuts Place milk, one egg, two tablespoons butter, salt, 3 tablespoons sugar, flour, and yeast in bread machine pan. Select Dough cycle, and press start. When cycle is complete, remove dough from machine, punch down, and let rest for 5 minutes. Roll out on lightly floured board into an approximately 24x10-inch rectangle. Brush the dough with 3 tablespoons melted butter, then sprinkle with brown sugar, cinnamon, 1 cup nuts, and raisins. Roll up tightly,jelly-roll style, from the longer side. Place on a greased baking sheet, shape into a ring, and seal ends. Mist with warm water, cover with plastic wrap which has also been misted with water, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, approximately 1 hour. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). In a small bowl, beat together 1 egg and 1 tablespoon water; set aside. Just before baking, brush dough with egg mixture, and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup walnuts. Bake in preheated for 20-25 minutes. This is a dense ring, and if it browns too quickly, just cover with foil and continue to bake. Makes 1 large loaf. Hope you like this recipe
