Recipe - 60-Minute Honey-Nut Ladder Loaf

3 Three fourths cup Flour; allpurpose
1 tablespoon Sugar
1 teaspoon Salt
1 pack Yeast; rapidrise
1 cup Hot water (125130)
1 tablespoon Margarine; softened
nut filling
One half cup Almonds; cut or sliced up
One half cup Raisins
One half cup Coconut; flaked
2 tablespoon Honey
2 tablespoon Margarine; melted
One half teaspoon Cinnamon

Set aside 1 cup flour. Mix remaining flour, sugar, salt, and yeast in mixer
bowl. Stir in hot water and margarine. Add enough reserved flour to make
soft dough. Knead 4 minutes. Roll dough to 14 x 8" rectangle. Place on
greased baking sheet. Spread filling down center third. Cut 1" wide
strips from sides of filling to dough edges. Alternately fold strips over
filling. Cover. Place boiling water in large shallow pan on counter. Place
baking sheet over pan and let dough rise for 15 min. Bake 20 min at 375 or
until done. Remove from sheet and cool on wire rack. Can drizzle with a
confectioner's sugar glaze, if desired. Fran's notes: on a hot, humid day,
I didn't need the extra cup of flour. I used a 12 ounce can of solo almond
filling instead of the one listed here. I didn't have any 10x sugar, but a
glaze would have been nice. Otherwise, I'll use a butter or egg wash to
'pretty' it up. This is definitely a keeper and I can't wait to try
apricot, etc. filling.
