Yield 16 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
3/4 cup warm milk (110° to 115°)
1/2 cup mashed potatoes
1/2 cup shortening
1/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon maple flavoring
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 to 5 cups all-purpose flour
FILLING:
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon maple flavoring
6 tablespoons butter, softened
GLAZE:
1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/4 teaspoon maple flavoring
2 to 3 tablespoons milk

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the milk, potatoes, shortening, sugar, eggs, maple flavoring, salt and 2 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. , Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. , For filling, combine the sugar, pecans, cinnamon and maple flavoring; set aside. Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into thirds. Roll each portion into a 14-in. circle; place one circle on a greased baking sheet or 14-in. pizza pan. , Spread with a third of the butter; sprinkle with a third of the filling. Top with a second circle of dough; spread with butter and top with filling. Repeat with remaining dough, butter and filling; pinch to seal., Carefully place a glass in the center of the circle. With scissors, cut from outside edge just to the glass, forming 16 wedges. Remove glass; twist each wedge five to six times. Pinch ends to seal and tuck under. , Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes. Bake at 375° for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown., In a small bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar and flavoring and enough milk to achieve desired consistency; set aside. Carefully remove bread from pan by running a metal spatula under it to loosen; transfer to a wire rack. Drizzle with glaze. Serve slightly warm or cool completely.

This recipe was amazing! The coffee flavor was perfectly complemented by the sweetness of the maple syrup and the crunch of the pecans. The dough was easy to work with and the twists came out beautifully. I will definitely be making this again!
