    List of Ingredients




    3 to 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    1 package quick rising yeast
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/3 cup milk
    1/4 cup each water, sugar and butter or margarine
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    2 large eggs
    2 tablespoons natural California pistachios, finely chopped
    Chocolate Pistachio Filling (recipe follows)
    Glaze (recipe follows)

    Recipe



    Combine 1 1/2 cups flour, yeast and salt. Heat milk, water, sugar and butter to 120 degrees F.; add vanilla. With electric mixer at low speed, beat milk mixture into flour mixture; beat in eggs. Mix 3 minutes at medium speed. Gradually stir in enough remaining flour by hand to form soft dough.


    Knead on floured surface about 5 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Place in greased bowl; turn to grease top. Cover and let rise in warm place about 20 minutes.


    Punch down. On lightly floured surface, roll dough to 15 x 10 inch rectangle. Spread Chocolate Pistachio Filling to within 1 inch of one long edge. Roll jellyroll fashion spread from long edge. Pinch to seal edges.
    Place on greased baking sheet; slash at 2-inch intervals to within 1 inch from center. Twist each section slightly. Cover; let rise 20 minutes.


    Bake at 350 degrees F. 30 to 35 minutes or until roll makes a hollow sound when tapped on the bottom. Cool on rack. Brush with glaze and sprinkle with finely chopped pistachios.
    Makes 8 to 10 servings.

    Chocolate Pistachio Filling: Combine 3/4 cup chopped natural California pistachios, 1/2 cup each vanilla cookie crumbs and melted butter or margarine, 2 tablespoons each sugar and cocoa and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon; mix well. Makes 1 1/2 cups.

    Glaze: Heat to boil 1/2 cup light corn syrup, 1/3 cup water and 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon. Reduce heat and simmer until reduced to 1/2 cup.
