I have not tried this recipe. I got it from Fleischmann's. Ingredients:
1 ounce fleischmann's active dry yeast (1 envelope) |
1/4 cup warm water (100 to 110 f) |
1 teaspoon honey |
3/4 cup warm milk (100 to 110 f) |
1 teaspoon salt |
2 eggs |
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine, melted and cooled |
1/3 cup honey |
4 -4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
2 tablespoons butter, melted |
8 ounces cream cheese, softened |
1/4 cup brown sugar |
2 tablespoons caramel topping |
1 teaspoon spice islands pumpkin pie spice |
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans |
1 cup powdered sugar |
1/2 teaspoon spice islands pure vanilla extract |
2 -3 tablespoons milk |
Directions:
1. Combine yeast, water and 1 teaspoon honey in a large mixing bowl; let stand for 5 minutes. Yeast mixture should be foamy. Stir in warm milk, salt, eggs, butter and 1/3 cup money. Add 3 cups flour; beat until well mixed. Add enough remaining flour to make a soft dough.
2. Knead on a lightly floured surface for 8 to 10 minutes, until dough is smooth and elastic. Place dough in a greased bowl, turning once to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
3. For filling, combine cream cheese, brown sugar, caramel topping and pumpkin pie spice in a bowl. Set aside.
4. Punch dough down. Divide dough in half. Roll each half into a 12 X 9-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Place each piece on a greased baking sheet. Spread filling down the middle third of the dough, lengthwise. Sprinkle pecans over filling. Brush sides of dough with 2 tablespoons melted butter. Make 1-inch wide cuts on both side of the dough up to the filling using a sharp knife or scissors. Fold each cut section of dough over the filling to resemble a braid. Cover and let rise 45 minutes.
5. Preheat oven to 325°F Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool for 20 minutes on a baking sheet. Transfer to serving platter.
6. For glaze, combine powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons milk in a small bowl. Stir until smooth. Add more milk to reach desired consistency, if needed. Drizzle over warm braid. Serve warm.
