CHERRY-ORANGE PULL APART BREAKFAST BREAD RECIPE - (4.7/5)



Cherry-Orange pull apart breakfast bread Recipe - (4.7/5) image

Provided by gmasusan

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup butter
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup chopped dried cherries
2 tablespoons grated orange peel (from 2 oranges)
2 cans Pillsbury™ refrigerated thin pizza crust
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon Watkins™ Pure Almond Extract

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. In small microwavable bowl, microwave 1/4 cup of the butter uncovered on High 30 to 50 seconds or until melted. Line bottom of 9x5-inch loaf pan with Reynolds® Parchment Paper. Lightly brush bottom and sides with small amount of the melted butter. In small bowl, mix granulated sugar, cherries and orange peel; set aside. Unroll 1 can of dough on work surface; press to form 16x12-inch rectangle. With pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut crosswise into 4 rows to make 4 (12x4-inch) rectangles. Brush rectangles with some of the remaining melted butter. Working quickly, sprinkle 1 rectangle with 1 rounded tablespoon sugar mixture. Top with another dough rectangle, butter side down. Brush top of rectangle with some of the butter, and sprinkle with 1 rounded tablespoon sugar mixture. Repeat with remaining 2 rectangles. With sharp knife, cut stack crosswise into 5 (4x2 1/2-inch) stacks. Carefully place small stacks, cut side down, in loaf pan. Repeat with remaining can of dough, sugar mixture and melted butter. Brush any remaining butter over top of loaf. Bake 45 to 55 minutes or until deep golden brown, covering with Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil, if necessary, to prevent excess browning. Cool 15 minutes in pan on cooling rack. Run knife around sides of pan to loosen bread. Remove from pan to cooling rack set over a sheet of parchment paper or foil. Meanwhile, in medium microwavable bowl, microwave remaining 1/4 cup butter uncovered on High 30 to 50 seconds or until melted. Add the powdered sugar and almond extract; mix until smooth. Brush icing over breakfast bread. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • To make the dough, you can use either active dry yeast or instant yeast. If you're using active dry yeast, you'll need to activate it in warm water before adding it to the dough. Instant yeast can be added directly to the dough.
  • Be sure to knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This will help to develop the gluten in the dough, which will make the bread chewy and flavorful.
  • When rising the dough, be sure to place it in a warm place. You can either let it rise in a warm oven or in a warm spot in your kitchen.
  • When filling the bread, be sure to use fresh cherries. You can use either sweet or tart cherries, depending on your preference.
  • Be sure to bake the bread until it is golden brown. This will help to ensure that the bread is cooked through.

Conclusion:

Cherry almond pull-apart bread is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for any occasion. It is soft, chewy, and filled with sweet cherries and almonds. This bread is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
