1. First start to prepare the filling. Place the apricots and orange juice in a bowl and set aside to marinate overnight.2. To make the dough, place the strong white flour, salt, butter, warm milk, yeast and egg in a mixing bowl.3. Mix well together to form a dough.4. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 6 minutes.5. Return the dough to the cleaned-out mixing bowl and set aside to rise in a warm place for 1 hour.6. While the dough is rising, drain the marinated apricots.7. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and muscovado sugar until fluffy. Mix in the drained apricots, flour, raisins, walnuts and orange zest.8. Turn the risen dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll out the dough into a rectangle, approximately 25 x 33cm.9. Spread the apricot mixture evenly over the dough rectangle. 10. Roll up the rectangle tightly until it resembles a Swiss roll. Roll it slightly then cut lengthways along the dough and plait the 2 dough lengths together.11. Place the dough plait on a lined baking sheet and set aside to rise for 1 hour.12. Preheat the oven to 200°C/gas 6.13. Bake for 25 minutes until risen and golden.14. Towards the end of the baking time gently warm the apricot jam in a small pan.15.
