MAPLE NUT COFFEE TWIST

Category: Coffee Cake

1 pkg Pillsbury Hot Roll Mix
3/4 cup warm water
1 egg
3 tbsp sugar
1 tsp maple flavoring
6 tbsp butter, melted

Filling
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp maple flavoring
1/3 cup chopped nuts

Glaze
1 1/2 cup confectioners sugar
1/4 tsp maple flavoring
2-3 tbsp milk

In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast (from mix) in warm water. Stir in egg, sugar and maple flavoring. Add the flour mixture, blend well. Knead on a floured surface 2-3 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl. Cover. Let rise in a warm place until light and doubled in size (about 30 - 45 minutes). Prepare filling.

Divide dough into three equal balls. On lightly floured surface, roll out one ball to 12 inch circle. Fit onto a greased 12' pizza pan. Brush dough with 2 T. melted butter and sprinkle with about 1/3 c. of the filling. Continue in the same manner, forming two more layers and ending with filling. Use a water glass to mark a 2 inch circle in the center of the dough on the pizza pan. DO NOT CUT THROUGH DOUGH. Cut from outside edge just to circle forming 16 pie shaped wedges. Twist each of the 3-layered wedges five times. Let rise 30-45 minutes. Bake at 375 for 20-25 minutes. Drizzle while warm with glaze.
