2 pk active dry yeast                                              1 tsp salt
1/2 cup warm water                                                1 egg, slightly beaten
1 cup milk, scalded                                                5 to 5 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup butter                                                        3/4 cup wheat germ
1/3 cup honey

Dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand. Pour scalded milk over butter; stir to melt. Ad honey and salt. Add beaten egg and mix well. Combine yeast, milk and egg mixtures. Blend well. Add 2 1/2 cups flour and beat until smooth. Add the wheat germ and beat until smooth again. Add additional flour to make a soft dough. Knead gently for a few minutes to make a smooth but soft dough. Cover and let rise until double. Divide in half; roll each half to a 7x12" rectangle. Brush with slightly beaten egg white and sprinkle with a mixture of 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tbsp cinnamon and 1/2 cut finely chopped nuts. Roll like jelly roll. Put in greased loaf pan 9x5x3". Bake 35-40 minutes at 375 degrees.
