Sounds yummy and eye catching! Ingredients:
1 (1/4 ounce) package active dry yeast |
3/4 cup warm water (110 to 115) |
1/2 cup warm milk (110 to 115) |
4 eggs |
1 cup sugar |
1/2 cup butter, melted |
2 teaspoons salt |
7 -7 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
1 cup chopped hazelnuts |
1 cup packed brown sugar |
1 cup raisins |
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon |
3 tablespoons butter, melted |
2 cups confectioners' sugar |
3 -4 tablespoons warm milk |
1 tablespoon butter, softened |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/2 teaspoon lemon extract |
1/4 cup chopped hazelnuts |
Directions:
1. In a mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in water and milk. Add eggs, sugar, butter, salt and 3 cups flour; beat until smooth. Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a grease bowl; turn once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-1/2 hours.
2. For filling, combine nuts, brown sugar, raisins and cinnamon; set aside. Punch dough down and divide into fourths. Roll one portion into a 12-in. x 7-in. rectangle. Brush with some butter; sprinkle with 2/3 cup filling. Roll up, jelly roll-style, staring with a long side; pinch to seal. Place on a greased baking sheet; shape top to form a cane. Repeat with remaining dough, filling and butter. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 35 minutes.
3. Bake at 350° for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on wire racks.
4. Combine the first five glaze ingredients; drizzle stripes over loaves. Sprinkle with nuts. Yield: 4 loaves.
