Cherry Walnut Cinnamon Buns
You may substitute chopped dried apricots for the cherries and almonds for the walnuts.
Makes 9 buns, about 2-1/2 inches each.
Stir yeast and 1 teaspoon of the granulated sugar into warm water in a 1-cup liquid measure with
pour spout. Let stand until foamy, 5 to 10 minutes. Insert metal blade. Place the brown sugar and
cinnamon in work bowl and process 10 seconds. Add walnuts and pulse to chop, 5 times; remove
and reserve. Add 1/2 cup cold milk to yeast mixture and stir to blend.
Place flour, remaining granulated sugar, cream cheese and salt in work bowl; process 10 seconds.
With machine running, add yeast mixture in a steady stream, as fast as the flour will absorb it.
Process until dough forms a ball, then process 45 seconds to knead dough. Remove dough and
gather into a ball – dough will be slightly sticky. Dust lightly with flour and place in a 1-quart reseal-
able food storage bag; press out air and seal tightly. Let dough rise in a warm, draft-free place,
until doubled in volume, about 1 hour. Place cherries in a small, heatproof bowl and cover with 1/2
cup boiling water. Let stand 15 minutes. Drain and pat dry. Lightly coat an 8-inch square baking
pan with cooking spray.
Punch dough down to deflate; let rest 10 minutes. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a
rectangle 14 x 7-inches. Brush dough with melted butter all the way to the short sides, but leaving
a 1/2-inch border on each of the long sides. Sprinkle the buttered area evenly with the brown
sugar/walnut mixture; distribute the drained and dried cherries evenly over the sugared area.
Brush unbuttered edges with water. Roll from one long side jelly-roll style. Pinch seam to seal.
Use a serrated knife to cut the roll into 9 pieces, each about 1-1/2 inches in length. Place the rolls
in the prepared pan, cut side up. Cover with plastic wrap and place in a warm, draft-free place, until
nearly doubled in volume, about 1 hour. Fifteen minutes before baking, preheat oven to 350°F.
When ready, brush tops with remaining tablespoon milk. Bake in preheated 350°F oven for 25 to
30 minutes until golden brown and puffed. Let cool on a rack for 15 minutes. Drizzle with
Powdered Sugar Glaze. Serve warm. (May be made ahead – do not glaze. Reheat, covered with
foil in a 225°F oven for 20 to 30 minutes, then glaze and serve.)
Powdered Sugar Glaze
Insert metal blade in work bowl. Place powdered sugar, vanilla and 2 teaspoons of the milk in
work bowl. Process until smooth, about 15 to 20 seconds. If too thick to drizzle, add remaining
teaspoon milk.

White Wheat Baguette
This bread has a crunchy, crispy crust with a dense chewy interior.
Makes one baguette, about 12 ounces.
Stir yeast and sugar into warm water in a 1-cup liquid measuring cup with pour spout.Let stand
until foamy, 3 to 5 minutes.
Place both flours and salt in work bowl fitted with metal blade, process 10 seconds to combine.
Add cold milk to foamy yeast mixture and stir to blend with a fork. With the machine running, add
the liquid in a steady stream, as fast as he flour absorbs it. Process until dough forms a ball, then
process 45 seconds longer to knead dough. (If too dry, add cold water, one teaspoon at a time,
processing 10 seconds after each addition. If too wet/sticky, add bread/all-purpose flour one table-
spoon at a time, processing 10 seconds after each addition.) Remove dough, shape into a ball,
and dust lightly with 1 teaspoon of flour. Place in a resealable 1-quart food storage bag, press out
air, and seal tightly. Let dough rise in a warm, draft-free spot, until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
Punch dough down to deflate; let rest 10 minutes. Roll dough into a rectangle, the roll up from the
long side jelly-roll style. Pinch seam and ends to seal. Roll to length of about 12 to 14 inches.
Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and dust loaf lightly with remaining flour. Cover loosely
with a sheet of plastic wrap that has been coated lightly with cooking spray. Let rise in a warm,
draft-free spot, until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
About 15 minutes before baking, preheat oven to 425° F. Use a serrated knife to make 4 diagonal
slits about 1/4-inch deep across the loaf. Place in oven and bake until browned and crusty, about
20 to 25 minutes. Bread will sound hollow when tapped. Transfer to a rack to cool. For best results,
allow to cool for 20 to 30 minutes before slicing.
