For an extra festive touch, sprinkle chopped nuts or candied orange peel over the glaze before it sets. If you don't have frozen orange juice concentrate, you can use fresh orange juice. Just be sure to add it gradually until you reach the desired consistency. Make sure your water and milk are at the correct temperature to properly activate the yeast. The rising times are estimates, adjust based on the warmth of your kitchen.

01
Step

Dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup warm water in a large bowl; stir. Stir in warm milk, marmalade, 1 whole egg, and 2 tablespoons melted butter to combine. Whisk flour, oats, and salt together in a separate bowl; stir into yeast mixture until moistened.

Step
30 mins
Turn dough out onto a flat surface and knead until smooth and elastic, 6 to 8 minutes. Place dough in a greased bowl, turning to coat both sides. Cover bowl and let rise until doubled in volume, about 30 minutes.

Step

Meanwhile, combine cranberries, brown sugar, and 6 tablespoons water in a small saucepan over medium heat; cook until cranberries begin to soften, 10 to 15 minutes. Off heat, stir in walnuts, 1 1/2 tablespoons butter, and lemon juice; cool.

Whisk 1 egg white and 1 teaspoon water together; lightly brush over dough. Spread cranberry filling over dough, leaving a 1-inch border on all sides. Roll up dough tightly, starting from 1 long edge; seal edges and cut off any tapered sides with no filling.

Step

Transfer roll to a large baking sheet; join ends together to form a ring. Cut 2/3 of the way through dough, at 1-inch intervals, using sharp kitchen shears. Gently twist each slice to expose swirled filling. Gently reshape dough into a perfect ring. Cover ring; let rise until doubled in volume, 20 to 25 minutes.
