The Dough
3 to 3 1/2	Cups	Gold medal all-purpose flour
1/3	Cup	Sugar
1	Tsp.	Salt
1	Pkg.	Yeast, regular or quick active
1	Cup	Water
1/4	Cup	Margarine or butter, softened
1	Egg

Mix 1 cup of flour, the sugar, salt and yeast in a large bowl. Heat water and margarine over medium heat, stirring frequently, until very warm (120° to 130°); Stir into flour mixture. Stir in egg. Stir in enough remaining flour to make dough easy to handle. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; gently roll in flour to coat. Knead about 8 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Place in greased bowl; turn greased side up. Cover and let rise in warm place 40 to 50 minutes or until double. (If using quick active yeast, do not let rise 40 to 50 minutes; cover and let rest on floured surface for 10 minutes.) Grease a rectangular pan, 13x9x2 inches. Prepare filling and set aside.

Filling
2	Tbsp.	Maple-flavored syrup
2	Tbsp.	Margarine or butter, softened
1/2	Tsp.	Ground cinnamon
1/4	Cup	Chopped nuts

After dough has risen, roll or pat dough into a 16x10-inch rectangle, on a lightly floured surface. Spread half of the filling lengthwise down center third of rectangle. Fold one outer third of dough over filling; spread remaining filling over folded dough. Fold remaining third of dough over filling; pinch edge to seal. Cut crosswise into 16 - 1" strips. Holding the strips at each end, twist in opposite directions. Place strips about 1 inch apart in pan, forming two rows of 8 strips each. Cover and let rise in warm place 50 to 60 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350°. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until golden brown.
