Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk (warmed to 115 °F)
- ⅓ cup water (warmed to 115 °F)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 2 1/4 teaspoons Rapid Rise Yeast
- 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for your work surface)
- 2 teaspoons salt
Filling:
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 1/2 cups cherries (chopped in half)
- 1 batch Cream cheese glaze
Instructions
- In a large measuring cup, mix together milk, water, sugar, and yeast. Let the yeast start bubbling, then mix the melted butter in.
- Using a stand mixer, mix flour and salt into the mixer bowl fitted with an oiled dough hook. Using the lowest setting, start the dough hook and slowly add the milk mixture.
- After the dough comes together, increase the speed to medium and let your dough hook do the work until it is shiny and smooth about 6 to 7 minutes. The dough should be slightly sticky but if it is too wet to come together into a ball, add an additional 2 tablespoons flour. It should just barely stick to your hands, nothing more. Turn dough onto lightly floured counter and knead briefly to form a smooth, round ball.
- Take the ball of dough and place in a well oiled bowl, covering it up.
- Let the dough rise in a warm, draft freeze area, until doubled in size, anywhere from 45-60 minutes.
- Prepare the cherries by cutting them in half and placing them in a bowl. Add the almond flavoring, stir, and set aside.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Take out the dough and on a lightly floured work surface roll it into a 12 by 18 inch rectangle.
- Cut the rectangle into six 12 inch long strips. Each strip will then be approximately 3 inches wide.
- Take the first strip, brush melted butter over it and sprinkle brown sugar on top.
- Place as many cherries on top for filling as wanted, I did 10 half cherries per strip.
- Place the next strip directly on top of the previously prepared one and repeat with the butter, sugar, and cherries.
- Repeat with all layers, building a stack of dough layers.
- Once you have all the layers in a stack, cut it into 12 pieces.
- Grease your bundt pan.
- Place each piece in the prepared bundt pan, making sure that they will slant slightly so that each piece will rise and touch together, forming a solid pull apart loaf.
- Cover with a towel and let rise for another 45-60 minutes, until the dough is doubled again.
- Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes. You should cover the top of the loaf once it's browned and continue cooking. To avoid a soggy loaf, you must make sure it's very well baked without burning the top, thus using tinfoil to prevent the top from over baking is crucial.
- Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Invert onto a plate or serving platter. Let cool completely, then cover.
- To serve, prepare the cream cheese glaze and drizzle over the top. Pull apart the segments and plate to eat.
Notes
- You can use frozen fruit in this recipe, simply defrost it before using.
