Method:

1. Grease a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan; set aside. Add the first 7 ingredients to the bread machine according to the manufacturer's directions. Select the dough cycle. When cycle is complete, remove dough. Punch down. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, for filling, in a medium bow stir together the walnuts or pecans, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Set aside.

3. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 14x9-inch rectangle. Spread with the 1 tablespoon butter or margarine; sprinkle with filling. Starting from both short sides, roll up each side into a spiral toward the center.

4. Place, rolled side up, in prepared pan. Cover; let rise in warm place about 30 minutes or until nearly double.

5. Bake in a 350°C oven about 30 minutes or until bread sounds hollow when lightly tapped. If necessary to prevent over browning, loosely cover with foil for the last 10 minutes of baking.

6. Remove from pan; colon wire rack. Before serving, sprinkle with powdered sugar.
