4 1/2 - 5 1/2 c flour
1/4 c sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 Tbl. Yeast
1 c water
1 c milk
1/2 c butter

1/4 c butter, softened

Generously grease 12-cup fluted tube or 10-inch tube pan.  

In large bowl, combine 2 1/2 c flour, sugar salt and yeast; blend well.  In small saucepan, heat water, milk and 1/2 c butter until very warm.  Add warm liquid and eggs to flour mixture.  Blend at low speed until moistened; beat 3 minutes at medium speed.  By hand, stir in 2 - 2 3/4 cups flour to form a stiff batter.  In a small bowl, combine all filling ingredients; mix well.  Spoon half of batter into prepared pan; spoon filling evenly over batter into within 1/2 inch of sides of pan.  Spoon remaining batter over filling.  Cover; let rise in warm place until light and doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
