 Categories: Breakfast, Breads
      Yield: 2 Servings

           Bread
    1/2 c  Warm water
      1    Pkg dry yeast
    1/4 c  Sugar
      1 ts Salt
      1 ts Lemon zest; grated
      1 c  Butter; softened
      6    Eggs
  4 1/2 c  Flour; sift before measure
           Filling:
      3 tb Butter; softened
    2/3 c  Brown sugar
      2    Egg yolks
      2 tb Milk
    1/4 ts Vanilla
      2 c  Walnuts or Pecans;
           - finely chopped
    1/4 c  Butter; melted
           Confectioners sugar

  Day ahead, make dough; if possible, check temperature of warm water
  with thermometer (105 to 115°F). Sprinkle yeast over water in large
  bowl of electric mixer; stir until dissolved. Add sugar, salt,
  zest, 1 cup butter, 6 eggs, and 3 cups flour.

  At medium speed, beat 4 minutes. Add remaining flour; at low speed,
  beat until smooth about 2 minutes. Cover bowl with waxed paper,
  then with a damp towel; let rise in warm place, draft free, until
  double in bulk about 1-1/2 to 2 hours.

  Refrigerate, covered, overnight. Next day, make filling: In medium
  bowl, with wooden spoon, mix 3 tb butter, brown sugar, and yolks.
  Stir in milk and vanilla; blend in nuts. Grease two 9x5x3" pans.
  Remove dough from refrigerator.

  Stir dough down with wooden spoon. Dough will be soft. Turn out
  onto lightly floured board; divide in half. Return half to bowl and
  place in refrigerator. On lightly floured pastry cloth or surface,
  roll half of the dough into a rectangle, 14x9".

  Brush with 1 tb melted butter. Spread with half of filling, to 1/2"
  from edge. From each end, roll up dough lengthwise, jelly-roll
  fashion, toward center. Turn loaf over; place in prepared pan,
  smooth side up. Lightly brush with melted butter.

  Repeat with rest of dough. Let rise in warm place, covered with
  towel, draft free, till double in bulk, about 1-1/2 hours. Preheat
  oven to 350°F. Bake 35 minutes or till golden brown. Remove from
  pan to rack. Sprinkle with confectioners sugar.
