Honey Coffee Ring

I found this recipe in some magazine and we like it.  Please note that the tube pan should not have the removeable bottom!  I tried it in an angel food cake pan once with disasterous results as the honey sauce leaked out - what a mess. It also fits into two regular bread loaf pans.  When cooled, slice and serve with butter.

Sometimes, I put the dough, with the honey sauce, into a pan as regular cinnamon rolls

I usually mix the dough in my bread machine on the dough cycle.

But, if you don't have a bread machine:

Heat until warm:

   1 1/4 cup plain yogurt

   1/4 cup butter or oil

   1/3 cup sugar or honey

   1 tsp salt

Add, stirring well after each addition:

   2 cups flour

   2 eggs, beaten

   2 tsp yeast

Add, a little at a time:

   approximately 2 1/2 cups flour

Let rise until doubled.

Press dough into a large rectangle.

Spread this mixture on the dough:

   2 Tbsp butter

   1/2 cup honey 

   1/4 cup sugar

   1 tsp cinnamon

   1/2 cup walnuts or pecans

   1/2 cup craisins

   1 Tbsp each orange juice and rind, optional

roll up dough jelly roll style.

for tube pan:

cut into 1 inch slices and put into tube pan in layers, staggering the slices so gooy filling trickles through the loaf.

for rolls: cut into desired thickness and put into a 9X13 inch pan. Some of the sauce makes it's way under the rolls.

Let rise for another hour

Bake at 350 F for about 45 minutes.

If the top is browning too fast, cover with foil for the last 15-20 mintes.

Loosen around the edges and invert onto a plate or cokkie sheet when it comes out of the oven.
