Holiday Roll Ingredients 1 package Pillsbury Hot Roll Dough Mix (in a box)* ¾ cup warm water 1 egg 3 Tbsp. sugar 1 tsp. maple flavor (liquid spice) Later: 6 Tbsp. melted butter * Purchase Fleishmann's Active Dry Yeast (in ¼ oz., 7g packages) instead of using Red Star -- here's why Filling Ingredients ½ cup sugar 1 tsp. cinnamon 1/3 cup chopped pecans Glaze Ingredients 1 ½ cups powdered sugar ¼ tsp. maple flavor 2-3 Tbsp. milk

1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast (that comes with Hot Roll Dough Mix) in warm water using a wooden -- not metal -- spoon. Stir in egg, sugar, and maple flavoring. Add the Hot Roll Dough Mix powder and blend well. 2. Kneed on floured surface for 2-3 minutes until smooth and satiny. Place dough in a greased bowl and cover. 3. Let rise in a warm place until light and doubled in size (about 30-45 minutes). Prepare the filling mixture. 4. Divide dough into three balls. Roll out one of the balls on a floured surface until it's the size of a pizza pan. Line a pizza pan with greased sheet of foil and place first dough layer on top. 5. Brush first layer of dough with 2 Tbsp. of melted butter and sprinkle with 1/3 of the nuts and cinnamon/sugar filling. Repeat with other two layers. 6. Place a glass on top of dough layers to make a "center circle". Cut from glass to outside edge to form 16 "pie wedges" -- as if spokes coming out from the center of a wheel. Twist each of the wedges 3 times and tuck bottoms under. (See photo above for example.) Dribble with more butter and pecans. 7. Let rise in a warm place another 30-45 minutes. 8. Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes. Glaze while hot and garnish with cherries.
