Salt-1/2 tsp
Egg-1
Luke warm milk-90 ml
For the filling:

Dried cranberries-1 tbsp
Flaked almonds- 1 tbsp
Milk for brushing
For the decoration:
Icing Sugar- 3 tbsp

Method:
Combine all the dough ingredients together to make a smooth dough. Place it in a clean bowl, cover it with a cling film and leave it in a warm place to rise double in size for about 1 to 2 hours.

When the dough has risen, take the dough, punch the air back, roll it out into rectangle of 30/ 45 cm. Spread the peanut  butter over the dough, sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon, on top of it sprinkle with dried fruits and nut, roll it like a swiss roll. Join the two edges together to make it like a ring, brush the ends with milk.
Using a scissors , snip through the circle leaving 1/2 inch interval, each time cutting two third of the way through the dough. Twist the section so they start to fall sideways.
Cover the ring with lightly oiled cling film and leave it in a warm place for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 200 degree celsius and bake the ring for 20 to 25 minutes or brown on top. Turn it out to a wire rack to cool.
Mix the icing sugar with orange juice and drizzle over the bread while it's still  warm. Sprinkle with dried cranberries and nuts on top.
Note:
I have used here peanut butter for fat, you can replace it with normal butter or olive oil.
