Dj's Coffee Braid

"A favorite recipe I found several years ago. I was offered a piece of this at a local function. After I got my portion, I noticed that it was going fast, so I asked for the recipe. If you like applesauce, peanut butter, and raisins, this might be for you."

  • Filling.
  • In bowl, mix applesauce, olive oil, sugar, raisins, peanut butter and cinnamon.

  • Dough.
  • Dissolve yeast in warm water.
  • Add butter, sugar, eggs, and salt. Beat well.
  • Stir in flour and knead well. Then let rise until double.
  • After initial rise, punch down and roll out dough. Roll to 10" wide and about 18" long. Try to keep in a rectangle.
  • Then cut into equal width strips, as long as your dough. ( I use a pizza cutter).
  • Spoon a narrow strip of the filling right down the middle of each strip.
  • Fold dough over and join the edges. Try to get a good seal.
  • Lay all 3 strips on a greased baking sheet.
  • Form into a braid. Paint top of braid with olive oil.
