Kris Kringle Star Bread Recipe
  • Prep: 30 min. + rising Bake: 25 min.
  • Yield: 36 Servings
30 25 55

Ingredients

  • FILLING:
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts or hazelnuts
  • 1/2 cup chopped maraschino cherries, patted dry
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • BREAD:
  • 2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4-1/2 to 5 cups all-purpose flour
  • Confectioners' sugar icing

Directions

  • In a small bowl, combine filling ingredients; set aside. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in water. In a large bowl, combine the butter, sugar, eggs, salt, yeast mixture 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 with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  • Punch dough down. Divide in half; roll each half into a 14-in. circle. Transfer to two greased baking sheets. Cut five 4-in.-long slits into each circle equal distance apart. Place a spoonful of filling in the middle of each section, then spread a thin layer of filling in the center of each star.
  • Fold the two outer edges of each section over each other to form star points. Pinch edges together to seal. Cover and let rise in warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes. Bake at 350° for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Frost while warm with confectioners' sugar icing. Yield: 2 breads.
