This is supposedly a "celebrity" recipe from Meg Ryan. I don't know how true that is but I got it from a friend awhile back and have just now had the chance to make it. Let's just say I was pleasantly surprised at the combination of flavors and the texture of this sweet bread.

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
