Method

  1. Place the milk, eggs, butter, flour, sugar, salt, and yeast into a bread machine in the order specified or as recommended by the manufacturer. Run the Dough cycle for approximately 90 minutes.

  2. Transfer the dough to a floured work surface and gently punch it to deflate. Allow it to rest for 10 minutes.

  3. In the meantime, prepare the filling by combining walnuts, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl.

  4. Divide the dough in half and roll each half into a rectangle measuring 9x14 inches.

  5. Spread 1 tablespoon of butter on each rectangle and sprinkle with half of the walnut mixture.

  6. Starting from the shorter end, roll each rectangle tightly, sealing the seams by pinching them together.

  7. Grease two loaf pans measuring 9x5 inches.

  8. Place the rolled loaves into the pans, with the seams facing down. Cover and let them rise until they nearly double in size, which should take around 30 minutes.

  9. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  10. Bake the loaves in the preheated oven until the tops turn golden brown and the loaves sound hollow when tapped, approximately 30 minutes. If they start browning too quickly, cover them with foil for the last 10 minutes.

  11. Remove the loaves from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, transfer them
