I first saw this recipe in a Taste of Home holiday recipes magazine and tried it for Christmas. We enjoyed it so much that I now make it several times a year. And even though it's a yeast bread, it doesn't have to be kneaded. Preparation time does not include overnight chilling.

Yield 4 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1/4 ounce active dry yeast, packet
1 cup warm milk (110-115 degrees)
4 cups bread flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold butter
1/2 cup shortening

2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 -3 tablespoons milk

Steps:

In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk. In another bowl, combine the flour, sugar and salt; cut in butter and shortening until crumbly. Add to yeast mixture. Add eggs; beat to form a very soft dough (do not knead). Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours.
Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface; divide into fourths. Roll each portion into a 14-in. x 11-in. rectangle; spread cherry pie filling down the center third of each rectangle. Starting at a long side, fold a third of the dough over filling; fold other third over top; pinch to seal. Then pinch the ends and tuck under. Place 2 inches apart on greased baking sheets.
Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely.

The soft dough in this recipe is so easy to work with. It bakes into a golden tender pastry that surrounds a luscious cherry center. Since the recipe makes four loaves, I serve one and freeze the other three for future use. -Mary Christianson, Carmel, Indiana

Tips:

Use fresh cherries for the best flavor. If using frozen cherries, thaw them and drain them well before using.
Pit the cherries before using. You can use a cherry pitter or a knife to remove the pits.
Use a sharp knife to cut the dough. This will help to prevent the dough from tearing.
Do not overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make it tough.
Chill the dough before rolling it out. This will help to make the dough easier to work with.
Brush the dough with melted butter before adding the filling. This will help to prevent the filling from sticking to the dough.
Bake the kringle until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Conclusion:

Cherry kringle is a delicious and festive pastry that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized with your favorite fillings. With these tips, you can make a perfect cherry kringle every time.
