Posted by Chyrel

Nothing will brighten your holiday gatherings more than this warm, fruit-filled brunch bread.

Coffee Cake

1 pouch (16 ounces) pizza crust & roll mix (including yeast packet)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
3/4 cup very warm milk (120�F-130�F)
1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
3/4 cup dried fruit morsel blend (such as dried cranberries, apples and cherries)
1/2 cup cherry preserves
1 tablespoon water

Glaze

3/4 cup powdered sugar
2-3 teaspoons milk

Preheat oven to 375�F. For coffee cake, combine pizza crust & roll mix, yeast packet and granulated sugar in a bowl. Separate 1 egg white from yolk; reserve white. Add milk, butter, whole egg and egg yolk to a bowl. Stir until mixture forms a ball.

Turn dough out onto well-floured surface. With floured hands, knead dough 5 minutes. Sprinkle additional flour over surface as needed to reduce stickiness. Cover; let dough rest 5 minutes.

Chop pecans; combine with fruit morsels in a bowl. Place dough in center of lightly floured rectangle stone; roll into 12 x 15-inch. Spread preserves in 6-inch strip lengthwise down center of dough to within 1/4 inch of each end; sprinkle fruit mixture evenly over preserves.

Cut 1-inch-wide strips on each side of fruit filling to within 1/2 inch of filling. Lift strips of dough across filling to meet in center, twisting each strip one turn; pinch together in center to seal. Tuck ends up to seal. Lift and stretch one end of shaped dough using spatula; curve to form cane. Cover; let rise in warm place 30 minutes.

Lightly beat reserved egg white with 1 tablespoon water; brush over dough using Pastry Brush. Bake 20-23 minutes or until deep golden brown.

For glaze, mix powdered sugar and milk until smooth; drizzle over warm coffee cake. Cool 15 minutes. Cut into 1-inch slices.
