Ingredients:

Serving

5-1/2 to 6 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour, divided
2 packages (1/4 oz each) active dry yeast
1 tsp salt
1 cup milk
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup butter
2 eggs
2 tbsp grated orange peel
1-1/2 cups dried cranberries , currants or raisins
filling:
6 tbsp butter, softened, divided
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1-1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
glaze:
1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 to 2 tbsp milk

Directions:

In a large bowl, combine 2-1/2 cups flour, yeast and salt. In a small saucepan, heat the milk, sugar, water and butter until a thermometer reads 120°-130° (butter does not need to be melted). Pour into yeast mixture; add eggs and orange peel. Beat for 30 seconds, scraping bowl often. Beat on high for 3 minutes. Stir in cranberries and enough remaining flour to form a firm dough.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch dough down. Divide into thirds. Roll one portion into a 12-in. x 9-in. rectangle. Spread with 2 tablespoons butter. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle a third over the butter. Roll up from a long end. Cut into 11 rolls; arrange in a candy can shape on a large greased baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough and filling. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled, about 30 minutes.
Bake at 350° for 18-23 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack. Combine glaze ingredients; drizzle over canes. Yield: 3 breads.
