Walnut-Filled Coffee Cakes
- 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
- 4 tablespoons sugar, divided
- 1 cup warm water (110u0b0 to 115u0b0)
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup 2% milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 5 to 6 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 6 tablespoons cold butter, cubed
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

- 4 teaspoons orange juice
- In a large bowl, dissolve yeast and 1 tablespoon sugar in warm water; let stand for 5 minutes. Add the eggs, butter, milk, salt, 5 cups flour and remaining sugar; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky). Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- For filling, in a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour and cinnamon; cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in walnuts.
- Punch dough down. On a floured surface, roll into a 21-in. circle; cut into four wedges. Spread filling over dough to within 1/2 in. of edges. Roll up each wedge from the wide end.

- Bake at 350u0b0 for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool. Combine glaze ingredients; drizzle over coffee cakes. Cut each into 12 slices.
