with thermometer (105-115). Sprinkle yeast over water in large bowl of
electric mixer; stir until dissolved. Add sugar, salt, peel, 1 cup
butter, 6 eggs and 3 cups flour.

2. 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.

3. Refrigerate, covered, overnight. Next day, make filling: in medium
bowl, with wooden spoon, mix 3 tablespoons butter; brown sugar and yolks. Stir in milk and vanilla; blend in nuts. Grease two 9X5X3"
pans. Remove dough from refrigerator.

roll half of the dough into a rectangle, 14 by 9".

5. Brush with 1 Tablespoon 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.
