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

48 ServingsPrep: 30 min. + chilling Bake: 25 min. + cooling

Ingredients

1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1 cup warm milk (110° to 115°)
4 cups bread flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
1/2 cup shortening
2 eggs, lightly beaten
4 cups cherry pie filling
ICING:
2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 to 3 tablespoons milk

Directions

In a large 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. Pinch ends and tuck under. Place 2 in. apart on
greased baking sheets.
