Time 2h

Yield Makes 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted, plus more for pan
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, (spooned and leveled), plus more for pan
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup sour cream
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups dried cherries (or dried cranberries)
1 cup coarsely chopped pecans
1/2 cup all-purpose flour, (spooned and leveled)
1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut in small pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour six mini loaf pans (each 5 3/4 by 3 inches, with a 2-cup capacity). Make streusel topping: In a bowl, mix streusel ingredients with fingertips until moist clumps form. Place in freezer.
  • Make cherry-pecan batter: In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. In a large bowl, whisk butter, sugar, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. Mix in dry ingredients until moistened. Fold in dried cherries and pecans.
  • Divide batter evenly among prepared pans; spread to fill corners. Place pans on a baking sheet. Bake 15 minutes, then remove from oven, and quickly sprinkle loaves with streusel topping.
  • Return loaves to oven; bake until golden and a toothpick inserted in center comes out with only a few moist crumbs attached, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool loaves 10 minutes in pans; turn out of pans, and cool completely, streusel side up, on a rack.

CHERRY-PECAN SWIRL BREAD



Cherry-Pecan Swirl Bread image

Wow your brunch crowd with this Cherry-Pecan Swirl Bread. If you're new to making bread from scratch, take your time with each step. Kneading can be sticky work, but don't overflour your work surface or the dough itself. This will make the bread tough and dense. To knead, fold the top of the dough in half toward you. Then, using the bottoms of both palms, push the dough away from you. Rotate the dough a quarter turn, and repeat the process until it becomes a smooth and stretchy ball, using little to no additional flour.

Time 3h35m

Yield Serves 12

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 (8-oz.) container sour cream
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 cup plus 1 tsp. granulated sugar, divided
1/3 cup warm water (100°F to 110°F)
1 (1/4-oz.) envelope active dry yeast
2 large eggs, beaten
2 teaspoons orange zest (from 1 orange)
3 3/4 - 4 1/4 cups bread flour, divided, plus more for work surface
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup dried tart cherries, chopped
1/2 cup toasted pecans, chopped
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 cup sifted powdered sugar
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice (from 1 orange)

Steps:

  • Prepare the Dough: Cook sour cream, butter, salt, and 1/4 cup of the granulated sugar in a saucepan over medium-low, stirring occasionally, until butter just melts, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Cool to 110°F to 115°F, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir together warm water, yeast, and remaining 1 teaspoon granulated sugar in a bowl. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
  • Beat sour cream mixture, yeast mixture, eggs, and orange zest with a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment on medium-low speed, gradually adding 3 3/4 cups of the flour, until a soft Dough forms and pulls away from sides but still adheres to bottom of bowl, 2 minutes.
  • Turn out Dough on a lightly floured work surface. Knead until smooth and elastic, 10 minutes, adding up to 1/2 cup remaining flour in very small increments, if needed to keep the Dough workable. (It should be tacky but not sticky.) Place in a lightly greased (with cooking spray) bowl, turning to coat all sides. Cover; chill at least 8 hours or up to 24 hours.
  • Turn out Dough on a lightly floured work surface. Roll into a 20- x 16-inch rectangle. Coat a 12-inch cast-iron skillet with cooking spray. Place a round sheet of parchment paper in bottom of skillet. Set aside.
  • Prepare the Filling: Stir together brown sugar, cherries, pecans, softened butter, cinnamon, and cardamom until mixture is well combined and the texture of wet sand.
  • Gently spread Filling over Dough, carefully pressing to adhere, leaving a 1-inch border on both long sides. Starting at 1 long side, roll up jelly-roll style. Using a serrated knife, cut log in half lengthwise. Arrange pieces side by side, cut sides up, on the work surface. Carefully twist together, keeping cut sides facing up. Form twisted Dough into a 9-inch ring, tucking ends underneath. Place in prepared skillet, and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Let stand in a warm place until almost doubled in size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in lower third position. Remove and discard plastic wrap from Dough. Bake until golden brown and cooked through, 35 to 40 minutes, tenting with aluminum foil after 25 minutes, if needed, to prevent excessive browning. Remove from oven.
  • Prepare the Glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar and orange juice. Drizzle over bread. Serve warm, or transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 1 hour.

Tips for Making Cherry Pecan Streusel Rolls:

- Use fresh, ripe cherries for the filling. Frozen or canned cherries can be used, but fresh cherries will give you the best flavor. - If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using. - Be careful not to overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the rolls tough. - Roll the dough out to a 12x18 inch rectangle. This will give you 12 rolls. - Spread the cherry filling evenly over the dough. - Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the cherry filling. - Bake the rolls at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown. - Let the rolls cool for a few minutes before frosting them.

Conclusion:

Cherry pecan streusel rolls are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're made with a simple yeast dough that's filled with a sweet cherry filling and topped with a crunchy streusel topping. The rolls are then baked until they're golden brown and gooey. These rolls are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them!
