Method

To make the dough, combine milk and 4 tablespoons of margarine in a small

saucepan and set pan over medium-low heat. Heat mixture until tiny bubbles appear

around edges of pan. Remove pan from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, combine yeast, 2/3 cup of warm water and 1

tablespoon of granulated sugar; let stand 5 minutes. Beat in egg substitute. Beat in

cooled milk mixture. Beat in remaining granulated sugar, salt and nutmeg.

Add flour, 1 cup at a time, and mix until blended and no longer sticky (this will take 4 to

5 cups). Using dough hook attachment on your mixer, or your hands, knead dough

until smooth and elastic (about 2 minutes with dough hook and 8 minutes by hand).

Shape dough into a ball.

Coat a large bowl with cooking spray. Add dough and turn to coat all sides. Cover bowl

with plastic wrap and let dough rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 1/2

hours.

When dough has risen, punch dough down with your fists to let air out. Roll into a

large rectangle, about 14 X 18 inches; set aside.

To make filling, combine brown sugar, raisins, nuts, cinnamon and melted margarine

in a bowl; combine until mixture is crumbly.

Sprinkle filling evenly over dough, to within 1/4-inch of edges of the rectangle.

Starting from wider side of rectangle, roll dough up tightly, like a jelly roll. Bring ends of

roll together to form an oval-shaped ring.

Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Place dough ring on baking sheet and pinch

ends together to form a seal.

Cover dough with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about

45 minutes.

Preheat oven to 375ºF.

Using a serrated knife, cut slits 1/3 of the way through the dough all around the ring, 1

inch apart, to let steam vent. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until golden. Remove from

oven and insert plastic baby doll into bottom of cake so it is completely hidden. (You

can substitute a whole pecan or walnut for the doll.)
