Fruit Bread Twists Recipe

Prep: 15 min. + rising Bake: 30 min.

Yield: 24 Servings

20 30 50

Ingredients

1 loaf (1 pound) frozen white bread dough, thawed
1 loaf (1 pound) frozen whole wheat bread dough, thawed
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 package (8 ounces) mixed dried fruit, chopped
GLAZE:
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Cut each loaf of bread dough in half lengthwise. Roll each portion into an 18-in. x 5-in. rectangle. Brush lightly with water. Combine sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over dough. Sprinkle with fruit. Roll up each rectangle, jelly-roll style, starting with a long side.
For each loaf, twist one white and one wheat rope together, pinching ends to seal. Place on greased baking sheets. Cover with plastic wrap coated with cooking spray; let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.
Remove plastic wrap. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to cool on wire racks. Combine glaze ingredients; drizzle over loaves. Yield: 2 loaves.
