Ingredients

  • 1 package (16 ounces) hot roll mix
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 3/4 cup warm water (120° to 130°)
  • 6 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon maple flavoring
  • FILLING:
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon maple flavoring
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • GLAZE:
  • 1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon maple flavoring
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons 2% milk

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the contents of the roll mix and yeast packets with the sugar. Stir in water, butter, egg and maple flavoring; mix well.
  2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 2-3 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, 45-60 minutes.
  3. In a small bowl, combine sugar, walnuts, cinnamon and maple flavoring. Grease a 12-in. pizza pan. Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into 3 portions. Roll each into a 12-in. circle. Place 1 circle on prepared pan. Brush with a third of the melted butter; sprinkle with a third of the filling. Repeat layers twice. Pinch around edge to seal.
  4. Place a small glass in center of circle. With kitchen scissors, cut from outside edge just to the glass, forming 16 wedges. Twist each wedge 5 or 6 times and tuck ends under. Remove glass. Cover with a kitchen towel; let rise in a warm place until doubled, 30-45 minutes.
  5. Preheat oven to 375°. Bake until golden brown, 20-25 minutes. Remove from pan to a wire rack to cool. Combine glaze ingredients; drizzle over warm coffee cake.
