Combine dry ingredients (flour, salt, yeast) in a bowl and whisk together.

Warm milk and margarine on low heat until margarine is melted.

Add sugar to the warm mixture and mix until dissolved.

Mix in egg yolk, water, and vanilla extract, then remove from heat to cool.

Combine wet and dry ingredients, knead into a rough dough, then knead on a floured surface until smooth, about 3 minutes.

Grease a bowl and place the dough inside to rest for 1 hour.

Prepare filling by mixing melted butter, walnuts, cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, dried pineapple, dried cranberries, raisins, dried mango, and vanilla extract.

Roll out the dough into a rectangle on a floured surface.

Spread melted butter over the dough, then evenly distribute the filling mixture.

Tightly roll the dough from one end to the other and seal the edges with melted butter.

Shape the rolled dough into a ring, tucking one end into the other and sealing it well.

Make cuts about an inch apart on the top of the ring to allow for rising and baking.
