Place the yeast and the warm water in the bowl of the stand mixer and let it stand for 5 minutes until foaming.

Add the remaining dough ingredients to the yeast and in a stand mixer or by hand kneed until dough is soft and pliable about 5 minutes by mixer and 10 minutes by hand.

Grease the bowl with the dough ball, cover, and allow to rise for about an hour or until doubled in size

Make the filling by placing all the filling ingredients in a food process and pulsing until pureed and mixed.

Once the dough has risen, divide it into 2 equal pieces. Roll one of the pieces into a rectangle of about 12x10 inches.

Spread half of the filling over the dough and roll like a cinnamon roll. Repeat for the other half of the dough.

Take one log, slice the log vertically leaving the top part attached then twist the two cut strands together. Repeat for the other log.

Now twist the two cut and twisted logs together, pinch and tuck the edges before placing in a loaf pan that has been greased.

Let the loaf rise for 20-30 minutes.
