Think Pink Breakfast Bread
- Dough:
- 1 1/4 cups warm milk (100u0b0 to 110u0b0F)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon butter, softened
- 1 envelope Fleischmann's(R) Active Dry Yeast
- 3 1/2 to 4 cups flour
- Filling:
- 1 cup roughly chopped dried cranberries, apricots, golden raisins or other fruit
- 2 tablespoons amaretto liqueur
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup almond slices
- Icing:
- 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon butter, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon amaretto liqueur
- 1 to 2 drops red food coloring (optional)
- 1/4 cup almond slices
- Pour warm milk into large mixing bowl. Add sugar, salt, egg, butter and yeast; mix well. Let rest 5 minutes. Mix in flour 1 cup at a time, forming a soft dough. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 3 to 5 minutes. Place dough in a greased bowl, turning once to grease surface. Cover and let rise about 40 minutes, until double in size.
- While dough is rising, combine dried fruit with amaretto. Allow to soak while dough rises.
- After dough has risen, punch down and roll into a 12 x 18-inch rectangle. Spread with 2 tablespoons butter, sprinkle with 1/2 cup sugar and top with 1/2 cup almonds and amaretto soaked fruit. Roll up jelly roll fashion. Place on greased baking sheet; curve the loaf to form a crescent shape. Let rise until doubled, about 30 to 40 minutes. Bake at 350u0b0F for 35 to 45 minutes until browned. Remove to rack and cool at least 15 minutes.
- Beat cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, amaretto and red food coloring (if desired) until well blended. Drizzle over bread and sprinkle 1/4 cup almonds on top.
