Make on dough cycle and remove to greased bowl. Rest in refrigerator 30
min. Knead briefly on floured board and roll into 15x10 in. rectangle.
Spread filling leaving 1/2 inch border on all sides. Starting long side,

greased baking sheet, shaping into horseshoe. Cut slits with scissors
through top of dough at 2 inch intervals. Cover and let rise in warm place

sub. and bake in preheated oven 375 degrees for 15 to 20 min. until

Filling: Combine in small bowl and mix to spreading consistency. You may
add more extract and sugar to taste. Also you may use 1 T. milk or more to
thin depending on type of cream cheese.

For a really festive one add candied cherries in slits and sprinkle with
sliced almonds before baking. ---
