Make three candy cane breakfast breads - adorable and tasty!
Ingredients:
  • 2 packages regular or quick active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup warm water (105°F to 115°F)
  • 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
  • 2 eggs
  • 5 1/2 to 6 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 cans (20 ounces each) sliced apples, drained
  • 1 1/2 cups red cinnamon candies
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons water
Instructions:
  • Prepare 3 cookie sheets by lining them with greased aluminum foil, turning up the edges to create shallow pans.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the yeast with warm water until dissolved. Add buttermilk, eggs, 2 1/2 cups of flour, butter, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Use an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, scraping the bowl as needed. Then, beat on medium speed for 2 minutes, scraping the bowl frequently. Mix in enough remaining flour until the dough is easy to handle while still soft and slightly sticky.
  • On a floured surface, knead the dough until smooth and springy for about 5 minutes. Divide the dough into 3 equal parts. Roll out one part into a 15x9-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Place the rectangle on a foil-lined cookie sheet. Spread 2/3 cup of apples in a 2 1/2-inch-wide strip down the center of the rectangle. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of cinnamon candies. Make 1/2-inch cuts almost to the filling on both 15-inch sides. Fold strips over the filling, overlapping and crossing in the center. Gently stretch the dough until it's 22 inches long, then curve one end to form a cane. Repeat these steps with the remaining 2 parts of dough.
  • Allow the dough to rest in a cozy spot for about 1 hour, until it doubles in size. You'll know it's ready when a gentle touch leaves an indentation.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Combine powdered sugar and just enough of the 3 tablespoons of water to create a smooth, drizzle-worthy glaze. Drizzle over the warm coffee cakes.
