    List of Ingredients




    Honey Apricot Cinnamon Braid

    3 cups (to 3 1/2 cups) all-purpose flour
    1 package fast rising yeast
    1 tsp ground cinnamon
    1 tsp salt
    1/2 cup milk
    1/4 cup honey
    1/4 cup water
    3 Tbs butter
    1 large egg
    1/2 cup finely chopped dried apricots
    honey for glaze


    Recipe



    1 In large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, un-dissolved yeast, cinnamon and salt. Heat milk, 1/4 cup honey, water and butter until very warm (120° to 130°F); stir into dry ingredients. Stir in egg and enough remaining flour to make soft dough.

    2 Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 6 to 8 minutes. Cover; let rest 10 minutes. Knead in apricots.

    3 Divide dough into 3 equal pieces; roll to 12-inch ropes. Braid ropes; pinch ends to seal. Place on large greased baking sheet. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 40 to 60 minutes.

    4 Bake at 350 °F for 25 to 30 minutes or until done. Remove from oven; brush top of loaf with honey. Remove from sheet; cool on wire rack.


    Servings: 12
