Cranberry-Pecan Wreath

Ingredients (scaled)

12 servings

Directions

To make filling: In medium saucepan, combine cranberries, brown sugar and butter. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat; simmer 5 to 7 minutes or until very thick, stirring frequently. Remove mixture from heat; stir in pecans.

To make dough: In large bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups flour, sugar, undissolved yeast, and salt. Heat milk, butter and water until very warm (120º to 130ºF); stir into dry ingredients. Stir in 2 eggs and enough remaining flour to make soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 4 to 6 minutes. Cover; let rest 10 minutes.

Roll dough to 30 × 6-inch rectangle; spread filling over dough to within 1/2 inch of edges. Beginning at long end, roll up tightly, pinching seam to seal. Form into ring; join ends, pinching to seal. Transfer to greased large baking sheet. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 45 to 60 minutes.

Bake at 350ºF for 40 to 45 minutes or until done. Remove from pan; cool on wire rack. ____________________ To Make Glaze: In small bowl, combine all ingredients; stir until smooth. Drizzle over wreath; decorate with additional cranberries, orange slices and pecan halves, if desired
