Ingredients

=============

Rise: 1-1/2 hours

=============

2-3/4 to 3 cups all-purpose flour

1 package active dry yeast

3/4 cup milk

1/3 cup granulated sugar

2 tablespoons butter or margarine

1 egg

1/2 cup finely chopped cranberries

2 tablespoons finely chopped pecans

1-1/2 teaspoons finely shredded orange peel

1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice or apple pie spice

1-1/2 teaspoons butter or margarine, melted

1 recipe Orange Icing (see recipe below)

Directions

In a large bowl stir together 1 cup of the flour and the yeast; set aside.

In a small saucepan heat and stir milk, 2 tablespoons of the granulated sugar, the 2 tablespoons butter, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until warm (120 degree F to 130 degree F).

Add milk mixture to flour mixture; add egg. Beat with an electric mixer on low to medium speed for 30 seconds, scraping sides of bowl. Beat on high speed for 3 minutes.

Stir in as much of the remaining flour as you can.

Turn out dough onto a floured surface. Knead in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough that is smooth and elastic (3 to 5 minutes total). Shape dough into a ball. Place in a lightly greased bowl; turn once. Cover; let rise in a warm place until double (1 to 1-1/2 hours).
