Ingredients:

  • 1 package (1/4 oz) active dry yeast
  • 3 tbsp warm water (110o to 115o)
  • 1/3 cup 2% milk
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • filling:
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • icing:
  • 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 2 to 3 tsp 2% milk

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the milk, sugar, butter, eggs, salt and 2 cups flour; beat on low speed for 3 minutes. Stir in enough of remaining flour to form a soft dough.
  2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 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.
  3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, beat all the filling ingredients until fluffy; set aside.
  4. Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; roll into a 14-in. x 12-in. rectangle. Place on a greased baking sheet. Spread filling down center third of rectangle. On each long side, cut 1-in.-wide strips, 3-in. into center. Starting at one end, fold alternating strips at an angle across filling. Seal end. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.
  5. Bake at 375° for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack. Combine confectioners' sugar, vanilla and enough milk to achieve drizzling consistency; drizzle over warm bread. Yield: 12-14 servings.
