Mix 1 cup flour, granulated sugar, salt and yeast in large bowl. Heat 2 tablespoons margarine, water and sour cream over medium heat, stirring frequently, until very warm (120ºF to 130ºF); stir into flour mixture. Stir in egg. Stir in enough remaining flour to make dough easy to handle. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; gently roll in flour to coat. Knead about 5 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Place in greased bowl; turn greased side up. Cover and let rise in warm place about 1 hour or until double. (If using quick active yeast, do not let rise 1 hour cover and let rest on floured surface 10 minutes.)

Prepare Honey Nut Filling; set aside. Mix 1/4 cup margarine, the brown sugar and honey in ungreased rectangular pan, 13x9x2 inches; spread evenly in pan. Pat or roll dough into 24x9-inch rectangle. Spread filling crosswise over half of the rectangle to within 1/4 inch of edges of dough; fold dough crosswise in half over filling; seal edges. Cut rectangle crosswise into six 2-inch strips. Twist each strip loosely; place strips crosswise in pan. Cover and let rise in warm place about 1 hour or until double.

Heat oven to 375ºF. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately invert pan onto heatproof serving platter or tray. Let pan remain over coffee cake 1 minute; remove pan.
