In a mixers bowl, add the flour, sugar, egg, milk, nutmeg, clove, cinnamon
and activated yeast mixture. Beat for 5-10 minutes on low speed using the
hook attachment, until you create an elastic and shiny dough.
Turn the speed down to low. Add half of the butter in 2-3 pieces. Wait for
each piece to get slightly (not completely) incorporated into the dough before
adding the next piece. Add the remaining butter and beat for about 8-10
minutes, until all of the butter is completely incorporated and the dough
becomes shiny. The dough should be soft, elastic, soft and buttery.
Gently shape the dough into a ball. Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap.
Set aside in a warm place for 30-60 minutes, until it doubles in size.

To assemble

Mix the cream with a whisk, just to fluff it up a little.


Roll out the dough into a 50x30 cm rectangle. Place longer side directly in
front of you.
Use a spatula to spread the cream over it. Distribute the walnut brittle over
the cream, leaving a 1 cm border all around.
Brush the border with some water so that dough can stick together and seal.
Roll into a log upwards, carefully. Use a serrated knife to cut the dough in
half, lengthwise. Turn the cut sides upwards, so that the filling won’t spill out
and shape into a braid.
Transfer to a 35x10 loaf pan and cover with a towel. Set aside for 20-30
minutes to let it rise.
Preheat oven to 200* C (390* F) Fan.
Bake for 25-30 minutes.
Dissolve 1 tablespoon of sugar in 2 tablespoons of water in a small glass.
When the sweet bread is ready, remove from oven and brush with sugar
mixture (try not to brush too much on the filling). Allow it to cool a little on a
wire rack. Turn out and let it cool completely.
Dust with caster sugar before serving.
