2 (4-1/2 tsp.) envelopes Fleischmann's® RapidRise Yeast
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
1/2 cup milk
-
1/4 cup water
-
1/4 cup butter OR margarine

Walnut Filling:
-
1/3 cup milk
-
1/3 cup corn syrup, light
-
2 tablespoons brown sugar
-
1 egg lightly beaten
-
1-1/4 cups Fisher® Chef’s Naturals Walnuts, finely ground
-
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions
For Dough: Combine 1 cup flour, sugar, undissolved yeast and salt in a large mixer bowl. Heat milk, water and butter until very warm (120° to 130°F). Add to flour mixture; beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Add egg and 1/2 cup flour; beat at high speed for 2 minutes. Stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
For Filling: Heat milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until bubbles begin to form around edge. Reduce heat to low. Combine corn syrup, brown sugar and egg; add to hot milk. Stir over low heat, until mixture begins to thicken, about 5 minutes. Add walnuts, cinnamon and vanilla and continue to cook just until mixture reaches spreading consistency. Set aside to cool slightly.
Roll dough out on a floured surface to a 22 x 9-inch rectangle. Spread surface evenly with walnut filling. Beginning at short end, roll up tightly as for jelly roll. Pinch seam and ends to seal. Place in a greased 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan. Cover and let rise in warm, draft-free place for 45 to 60 minutes, or until doubled.
Bake in preheated 350°F oven for 45 to 50 minutes until done. (Bread is done when internal temperature reaches 190° to 195°F.) Remove from pan and cool on wire rack.
For Glaze: Combine powdered sugar, butter, vanilla and enough milk to reach drizzling consistency. Stir until smooth. Drizzle over Walnut Swirl Bread when slightly cooled.
Variation: To make Chocolate Chip Walnut Swirl Bread, sprinkle 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips over walnut filling before shaping dough into loaf.
