Yugoslavian Coffee Cake - Mark Seng

1 pkg active dry yeast                       
3 eggs
¼ cup warm water 105‑115º            
¼ cup sugar
¾ cup scalded milk, lukewarm        
½ tsp salt
½ cup margarine, softened                               
4½ ‑5 cups flour

Filling:

2½ cups finely chopped walnuts     
1 egg
1 cup packed brown sugar                
2 tsp cinnamon
⅓ cup butter, softened

Dissolve yeast in warm water in large bowl.  Stir in milk, margarine, eggs, sugar, salt and 3 cups of the flour.  Beat until smooth.  Stir in enough remaining flour to make dough easy to handle.  Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.  Place in greased bowl; turn greased side up.  Cover; let rise in warm place until double, 1½ hours. Dough is ready if indentation remains when touched.  Punch down dough; divide into halves.  Roll each half into rectangle, 15x12, on lightly floured surface.  Spread half the filling over each rectangle.  Roll up tightly, beginning at 15 inch side.  Pinch edge of dough into roll to seal well.  Stretch roll to make even.  With sealed edges down, coil into snail shapes on lightly greased cookie sheets.  Cover; let rise until double, about 1 hour.  Heat oven to 350º.  Bake until golden brown, 35‑45 minutes  Brush with margarine if desired; spread with glaze.
