Maple-Nut Coffee Twist

Ingredients

• 1 pkg hot roll mix
• 3/4 c warm water
• 1 egg
• 3 tbs sugar
• 1 tsp maple flavoring
• 6 tbs butter, melted
• Filling:
• 1/2 c sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp maple flavoring
• 1/3 c chopped nuts
• Glaze:
• 1 1/2 c powdered sugar
• 1/4 tsp maple flavoring
• 2-3 tbs milk

Preparation

1. In large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast (from mix) in warm water. Stir in egg, sugar and maple flavoring. Add the flour mixture; blend well. Knead on a floured surface 2-3 minutes until smooth and satiny. Place in greased bowl. Cover; let rise in warm place until light and doubled in size, 30-40 minutes. Prepare filling. Divide dough equally into 3 balls. On lightly floured surface, roll out one ball of dough to 12 inch circle. Fit onto bottom of greased 12 inch pizza pan. Brush dough with 2 tbs melted butter and sprinkle with about 1/3 c of the filling. Continue in same manner, forming 2 more layers and ending with filling. Use a glass to mark a 2 inch circle in center of dough (do not cut through dough). Cut from outside edge just to circle forming 16 pie-shpaed weedges. Twist each of the 3-layered wedges 5 times. Let rise in warm place until light and doubled in size, 30-40 minutes. Bake at 375 for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Drizzle while warm with glaze. Serve warm or cold. Filling: Combine all ingredients. Glaze: In small mixing bowl, combine powdered sugar, maple flavoring and enough milk until thin enough to drizzle.
