Add the first 4 ingredients to the machine according to the manufacturer's

When the cycle is finished,remove dough from the machine. Let dough rest 10
minutes.

On a lightly floured surface divide dough in half and foll each half into a
10x8-inch rectangle. Roll up jekly-roll style, starting from one of the
