Active Time : 2 Hour 50 Minutes
Total Time : 2 Hour 50 Minutes
Serves : 16
INGREDIENTS
  • 1 pound frozen sweet bread dough, thawed
  • 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Blue Bonnet®-stick
  • 1 cup raisins
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
  • PAM® Original No-Stick Cooking Spray
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Blue Bonnet®-stick, melted
  • 2 2% teaspoons reduced fat
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
  • 12 candied cherries, quartered
DIRECTIONS

Bread: Roll dough into 15x6-inch rectangle on lightly floured surface; set aside. Place brown sugar in small bowl; cut in 1 tablespoon Blue Bonnet with pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in raisins and walnuts. Sprinkle over dough to within 1/2 inch of edges. Roll up dough tightly, starting at 1 of the long sides. Pinch seams and both ends together to seal.

Place roll, seam-side down, on baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray; bend 1 end to resemble candy cane. Cover with damp towel; let rise in warm draft-free place 45 minutes, or until doubled in size.

Preheat oven to 375°F. Using sharp knife, lightly slash top of loaf at 2-inch intervals. Beat egg white and water in small bowl with wire whisk until well blended; brush over dough.

Bake 15 to 20 minutes, or until loaf is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped. Remove from baking sheet to wire rack; cool completely.

Glaze: Combine confectioners' sugar, 1 tablespoon Blue Bonnet, milk and almond extract in small bowl; beat with wire whisk until well blended. Drizzle over bread.

Garnish: Decorate with candied cherries to resemble candy cane. Let stand until glaze is set. Cut into 16 slices to serve.
