CHERRY KRINGLE
The soft dough in this recipe is so easy to work with. It bakes into a golden tender pastry that surrounds a luscious cherry center. Since the recipe makes four loaves, I serve one and freeze the other three for future use. -Mary Christianson, Carmel, Indiana

CHERRY KRINGLE
I first saw this recipe in a Taste of Home holiday recipes magazine and tried it for Christmas. We enjoyed it so much that I now make it several times a year. And even though it's a yeast bread, it doesn't have to be kneaded. Preparation time does not include overnight chilling.

Steps:
- In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk. In another bowl, combine the flour, sugar and salt; cut in butter and shortening until crumbly. Add to yeast mixture. Add eggs; beat to form a very soft dough (do not knead). Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours.
- Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface; divide into fourths. Roll each portion into a 14-in. x 11-in. rectangle; spread cherry pie filling down the center third of each rectangle. Starting at a long side, fold a third of the dough over filling; fold other third over top; pinch to seal. Then pinch the ends and tuck under. Place 2 inches apart on greased baking sheets.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
- Combine icing ingredients; drizzle over kringles.
Tips:
- Chill the dough thoroughly before rolling it out. This will help prevent it from becoming sticky and tearing more smooth and easier to work with.
- Make sure the butter is cold and cut into small pieces. This will help it distribute evenly throughout the dough and create a flaky texture.
- Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make it tough. Mix it just until the ingredients are combined.
- Roll the dough out to a 12x18-inch rectangle. This will give you enough dough to fold it over the filling.
- Spread the filling evenly over the dough. Don't pile it on too thick, or it will be difficult to fold the dough over.
- Fold the dough over the filling. Start by folding one long edge of the dough over the filling. Then, fold the other long edge over the first fold. Finally, fold the two short edges over the filling.
- Crimp the edges of the dough together. This will help seal in the filling and prevent it from leaking out.
- Brush the top of the dough with an egg wash. This will give the kringle a golden brown color.
- Bake the kringle at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-35 minutes. Keep an eye on the kringle to make sure it doesn't overcook.
Conclusion:
Cherry kringle is a delicious and festive pastry, perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be customized with your favorite fillings. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give cherry kringle a try!
