3 3/4 -(up to)
4 1/4 c All-purpose flour
1/2 c Sugar
1 pk Active dry yeast (see note)
1/2 ts Salt
1 cn (5-oz) evaporated milk
1/3 c Water
1/4 c Butter or margarine
2 Eggs; at room temperature
1 c Strawberry preserves; at
-room temperature
Confectioner’s sugar icing
-(any recipe you desire)
2 tb Sliced almonds; toasted
-STRAWBERRY BUTTER-
1/4 c Strawberry preserves
1/2 c Butter; softened
Mix 2 cups flour, sugar, salt and undissolved yeast. Heat milk, water and
butter to 120-130 degrees. Butter does not need to melt. Add to dry
mixture; beat 2 minutes at medium speed. Add eggs; beat 2 minutes at medium
speed. Stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Knead on
lightly floured surface 4 minutes. Place in greased bowl, turning to grease
top. Cover; let rise in warm place until almost doubled, about 45-60
minutes.
Punch dough down, divide in half. Roll one half dough to 18×12-inches.
Spread with 1/2 cup strawberry preserves. Roll up from long side, as for
jelly roll. Pinch edges to seal. Place roll, seam side up, in greased
12-cup Bendt pan; seal ends. Repeat with remaining dough and place second
roll seam side down on top in pan; seal ends. Cover; let rise in warm place
until almost doubled, about 45 minutes.
Bake at 350 degrees for 35-45 minutes or until done. To prevent
overbrowning cover with foil after 20 minutes. Remove from pan and cool on
wire rack. If desired, top with confectioner’s sugar icing and sprinkle
with almonds. Serve with Strawberry Butter.
STRAWBERRY BUTTER: Mix preserves and butter.
NOTE: To save 50% on rising time, use Fleischmann’s RapidRise Yeast.
