This was my attempt at creating my mom's Christmas breakfast Roll. She has a variety of recipes for this - all of which have the year by them for each year she made it and the specific notes pertaining to the subtle changes made for each year.
- To make it - use your typical or favorite sweet yeast dough recipe
- After it has risen for the first time, roll it round and flat (think a HUGE pie shell)
- Sprinkle with your favorite spices - I used cinnamon, clove and nutmeg
- Sprinkle with brown sugar and maybe a little bit of honey
- Sprinkle with your favorite dried fruits - this year I used golden raisins, orange essence craisins from Trader Joe's, and diced dried apple
- Once all the goodies are spread out on the dough, roll it up as you would a jelly roll
- Then twist into a circle, pinching the ends together
- Let it rise one more time, then bake at 350-375' (depending on your dough recipe specifications)
- Remove from the oven and cool
- Serve at room temperature
- If you want to add a special extra touch, make up a quick icing of water and powdered sugar and drizzle this on top just before serving
