Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups milk; 1 1/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, divided; 1 1/2 cups sugar, divided; 2 packages dry yeast; 1 1/2 teaspoons salt; 7 cups all-purpose flour, divided; 3 eggs; 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract; 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon; 1 1/2 cups raisins, divided; 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans, divided; 2 cups sifted powdered sugar; 1/4 cup milk

1

Heat 1 1/2 cups milk and 1 cup butter to 120u00b0 to 130u00b0 in a medium saucepan; set aside.

2

Combine 1/2 cup sugar, yeast, salt, and 2 cups flour in a large mixing bowl. Gradually add warm milk mixture, beating at medium speed of an electric mixer 2 minutes. Add eggs, vanilla, and 2 1/2 cups flour; beat 2 minutes. Gradually add remaining flour to make a soft dough (dough should remain soft and slightly sticky).

Roll one portion dough into a 21- x 7-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Melt 2 tablespoons butter, and brush evenly over dough, leaving a 1- inch margin. Combine remaining sugar and cinnamon, stirring well to blend; sprinkle 1/3 cup sugar mixture over dough. Sprinkle 1/2 cup raisins and 1/2 cup pecans evenly over dough, leaving a 1-inch margi

6

Roll up dough jellyroll fashion, beginning at long side; pinch edges to seal. Place roll on a large, greased baking sheet, seam side down; shape into a ring, and pinch ends together to seal. Repeat procedure with each dough portion.

7

Make cuts in dough with kitchen shears at 1-inch intervals around ring, cutting two-thirds of the way through roll with each cut. Gently turn each piece of dough on its side, slightly overlapping slices. Repeat procedure for each dough portion
