Ingredients
Dough:
2 cups bread flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp active dry yeast
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg
Filling:
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
Topping:
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.
In a separate bowl, mix together the milk, melted butter, and egg.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
In the meantime, make the filling by combining the chopped walnuts, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a large rectangle.
Spread the filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Roll the dough tightly, starting from the long side, until you have a log shape.
Place the log in a greased loaf pan and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
For the topping, mix together the melted butter, sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl.
Brush the topping over the risen dough.
Bake the bread for 35-40 minutes, until it is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
Let the bread cool before slicing and serving.
