Instructions
- Combine warm water and yeast in a large bowl; stir to dissolve. Add warm milk
- egg
- marmalade
- and butter. Stir to combine.
- Mix flour
- oats
- and salt together in a separate bowl. Add to yeast mixture and stir until moistened. Knead dough until smooth and elastic
- 6 to 8 minutes. Place dough in a greased bowl
- turning to coat both sides. Cover and let rise until doubled
- about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile
- combine cranberries
- brown sugar
- and water in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until cranberries begin to soften
- 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in walnuts

- and lemon juice. Let cool.
- Punch dough down. Roll dough into a 10×20-inch rectangle on a floured surface.
- Whisk egg white and water together. Brush lightly over the dough. Spread cranberry filling over the dough
- leaving a 1-inch border on all sides. Roll up tightly
- starting from a long edge. Seal edges and cut off any tapered sides with no filling.
- Transfer roll to a large square baking sheet. Join ends together to form a ring. Use sharp kitchen shears to make cuts at 1-inch intervals
- cutting 2/3 of the way through the dough. Twist each slice gently to expose the swirled filling. Gently shape dough into a perfect ring. Cover and let rise until doubled
- 20 to 25 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown
