Making the Biga
In a small bowl, combine the water, flour and yeast and allow to ferment overnight for up to 12 hours. In the meantime, combine the ingredients for the filling and refrigerate overnight.
Making the Bread
Ensure the collapsible paddle is securely attached and in the upright position before adding the biga, then the rest of the ingredients to the bread pan in the order listed. Secure the bread pan inside the baking chamber. Select the SWEET setting and loaf size. Press the START PAUSE button. At the end of the second rise and final punch down, press and hold the START PAUSE button to momentarily pause the cycle. Remove the dough from the bread pan. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out into a rectangle about 6” (15cm) wide and 13” (33cm) long. Spread the filling all over the dough, leaving a 1” (2.5cm) border. From the top short end, fold the dough over L of the way down. Then take the shortest end closest to you and roll the dough “jelly roll” style, into a tight roll, sealing the side edges as you roll. Seal the seam by pinching it against the folded dough. Remove the collapsible paddle from the bread pan and place the rolled dough, seam side down, into the bread pan. Use caution as the paddle will be hot. Brush the top with the egg wash and sprinkle with sugar if desired. Close the lid. Press the START PAUSE button to resume the cycle. When the cycle is complete, use oven mitts to remove the bread from the bread machine and transfer to a wire rack to cool. Bread will slice best when allowed to cool.
