CHERRY KRINGLE



Cherry Kringle image

Kringles are a classic Scandinavian pastry. This recipe is for a basic Danish Kringle recipe that gets a sweet touch with the addition of a cherry filling. But if you don't care for cherries, you can adjust the filling and use any fruit jam (or pie filling) of your choice. Prep time includes 1 hour for dough to rise. During a...

Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (1/4-oz) pkg active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup cold milk
1 large egg, beaten
2 (12-oz) jar(s) cherry jam (or cherry pie filling)
powdered sugar, to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Add yeast to warm water and let stand 5 to 10 minutes.
  • 2. Sift flour with salt and sugar. Add butter and beat about 2 minutes or until well blended. Beat in the yeast mixture.
  • 3. In a small bowl, stir milk and beaten egg together. Add the milky egg mixture to flour mix, and stir with fork until a smooth dough forms. Cover and refrigerate 2 hours or overnight.
  • 4. Divide dough into 2 portions. Keep one portion in fridge while preparing the other.
  • 5. Roll dough to form a 14x10 rectangle. Using a sharp knife or kitchen shears, at 1 1/2 inch intervals, cut 3-inch long strips in the dough on both sides lengthwise, leaving a 3 inch wide uncut strip in the center of the dough (to hold the filling). Stir 1 jar of cherry jam (to soften it, so it spreads easier). Spread the jam in a layer over the center strip of the dough. Alternating (first one side and then the other side), fold one strip of dough over the filling, then fold a strip on other side over the filling slightly overlapping the first strip. Continue until all the strips have been folded over, to make a braided design to completely cover the filling. Pinch the dough at the ends to seal the filling inside. Repeat Step #5 with second portion of dough and second jar of jam.
  • 6. Place braided Kringles on a lightly greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise 1 hour or until dough is no long chilled and indentation remains when touched.
  • 7. Preheat oven to 325°F.
  • 8. Place baking sheet in oven, and bake for 25 minutes or the top is lightly browned. Let cool completely, then cut each Kringle into 8 to 10 portions, and serve. Optional - if you wish, you can dust each serving with a light sprinkling of powdered sugar.

The soft dough in this recipe is so easy to work with. It bakes into a golden tender pastry that surrounds a luscious cherry center. Since the recipe makes four loaves, I serve one and freeze the other three for future use. -Mary Christianson, Carmel, Indiana

CHERRY KRINGLE

I first saw this recipe in a Taste of Home holiday recipes magazine and tried it for Christmas. We enjoyed it so much that I now make it several times a year. And even though it's a yeast bread, it doesn't have to be kneaded. Preparation time does not include overnight chilling.
