Christmas Coffee Cake recipe

Christmas Coffee Cake

This recipe is by Fern Story, from 'Homemade Cooking Good 'Nuff for Sharing', a cookbook published by the Antique Gas & Steam Engine Museum.

 

5 Cups Flour
2 Packages Granular Yeast
3/4 Cup Milk
1/2 Cup Warm Water
1/3 Cup Shortening
1/3 Cup Sugar
2 Eggs
1 Tbsp. Orange Juice
1 tsp. Sugar
1 tsp. Flour
1 tsp. Salt 

Dissolve yeast, 1 teaspoon sugar, and 1 teaspoon of flour in the warm water. Let stand for 10 minutes.

Mix sugar, salt and shortening, and stir well. Add eggs, 2 cups flour, milk, and orange juice, and stir well.

Add yeast mixture and mix well. Add 2 1/2 to 3 cups of flour.
Mix and turn out on floured surface and knead well for about 5 minutes.
Place in a greased bowl and let rise in a warm place until it doubles (about an hour).

Punch down and let rise again until about double the size.
Turn out on floured surface, divide into 2 parts, and let rest for 5 minutes.
Roll out each half to fit a 10"x14" pan. Let rise for 10 minutes, then press the edge gently against the sides and edges of the pan.
Add topping and bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes, or until light brown.

Our Mission: Our Mission: "Big Blend Magazine is a company based on the belief that education is the most formidable weapon that can be waged against fear, ignorance and prejudice.
It is our belief that education starts at home and branches outward. Education leads to travel, and travel leads to understanding, tolerance, and appreciation of cultures and customs different to our own, and ultimately to world peace. Our company is further based on the principle that networking, communication, and helping others to promote and market themselves leads to financial stability; thus paving the way to better education, travel, and the spirit of giving back to the community."
