18 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
3 tablespoons Sugar,divided
1 pack Dry yeast
¼ cup Warm water, 105 to 115 degs
3¼ cup Bread flour, divided
½ cup Skim milk
¼ cup Margarine melted
½ teaspoon Salt
1 Egg, lightly beaten
Vegetable cooking spray
⅓ cup Firmly packed brown sugar
1½ teaspoon Ground cinnamon
¾ cup Finely chopped cooking apples, peeled
½ cup Dark seedless raisins
⅓ cup Sifted powdered sugar
1½ teaspoon Skim milk

Directions

Dissolve 1 tablespoon sugar and yeast in warm water in a large bowl; let stand 5 minutes. Add remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, 3 cups flour, and next 4 ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms.

Turn dough out onto floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic (about 10 minutes); add enough remaining flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, to prevent dough from sticking. Place dough in a bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85 deg), free from drafts, 1 hour or until doubled. Punch dough down, and turn out onto floured surface; roll into a 17- x 8-inch rectangle. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over dough, leaving ½-inch margin around edges.

Top with apple and raisins. Roll up tightly, starting at short side, pressing firmly to eliminate air pockets; pinch seam and edges to seal.

Place roll, seam side down, in 9- x 5- x 3-inch loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85 deg), free from drafts, 45 minutes or until doubled.

Uncover; bake at 350 deg for 35 minutes or until loaf sounds hollow when tapped. Remove from pan; cool on a wire rack.

Combine powdered sugar and 1-½ teaspoons milk; stir well. Drizzle over loaf. Yield: 1 loaf, 18 servings (serving size: 1 [½-inch] slice).
