MAPLE-NUT COFFEE TWIST

Steps:

• 1. In large bowl dissolve yeast from hot roll mix in warm water. Stir in egg, sugar and maple flavoring. Add hot roll flour mixture; blend well Place in greased bowl. Cover, let rise in warm place until light and doubled in size, 30 to 45 minutes.
• 2. Combine all Filling ingredients except margarine.
• 3. Grease 12 inch pizza pan.
• 4. Divide dough equally into three balls. On lightly floured surface, roll out one ball of dough to 12-inch circle. Fit into bottom of greased pizza pan. Brush dough with 2 tablespoons melted margarine and sprinkle with about 1/3 cup filling. Continue in same manner forming 2 more layers and ending with filling.
• 5. Use a glass to mark a 2-inch circle in center of dough (do not cut through dough). Cut from outside edge just to circle forming 16 pie shaped wedges. Twist each wedge 5 times. Let rise in warm place until light and doubled in size, 30 to 45 minutes
• 6. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Bake 17 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.

• 8. NOTE: I was in a rush one time and didn't want to take the time to roll out three layers and do the twisting. I rolled the dough into a rectangle/oblong shape, brushed with the butter and put all the filling mix on top of that. I rolled it up lengthwise (like a jelly roll) and cut them like cinnamon rolls and baked them in a 9 x 13 inch pan. They turned out just fine. While the above directions makes a pretty cake, I and my neighbor liked them better made this way. They seemed to be moister.
