Recipe - Chanukah Roly Polys

DOUGH
3 Eggs
1 cup Sugar
1 cup Oil
One fourth cup Orange juice
1 Orange ; Zest of
1 teaspoon Vanilla
One fourth teaspoon Salt
2 teaspoon Baking powder
4 cup Allpurpose flour; (to 5
cups)

FILLING
6 tablespoon Granulated sugar; (+ or )
3 teaspoon Cinnamon; (+ or )
One fourth cup Starwberry or apricot jam;
warmed
1 cup Raisins; plumped, well dried
1 cup Chocolate chips
1 One half cup Gummy Bears *
1 cup Coconut shreds; sweetened
1 One half cup Walnuts or pecans; finely
chopped

GARNISH
1 Egg; beaten
Coarse or granulated sugar

Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper (using parchment paper is
imperative for this recipe because of the sweet, sticky syrup that may leak
out). Preheat oven to 350 F.

DOUGH: In a large mixing bowl, stir together the eggs and sugar. Stir in
oil, orange juice, orange zest, vanilla and salt. Fold in baking powder and
flour to make a soft dough. (If you are not sure how much flour is enough,
more can be added on your work board when the dough is rolled.) Divide
dough in three sections.

On a wellfloured board, roll one section at a time into a 10by12inch
rectangle. If dough seems too soft, add a little more flour, as required,
on the worktable. On each rolledout section of dough, spread onethird of
the ingredients in this order: sugar and cinnamon, then jam, raisins,
chocolate chips, Gummy Bears, coconut and chopped nuts.

Starting at the end nearest you, gently roll up pastry into a
jellyrollstyle log. Paint with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar. Prepare
the remaining dough sections in the same fashion. Place the three logs on a
baking sheet.

Brush with the beaten egg, then sprinkle with coarse or regular sugar. Bake
until Roly Poly is nicely browned, around 25 to 28 minutes. Remove from
oven, let cool on baking sheet, then remove to a board. Cut into 1/2inch
slices.

NOTE: * This recipe had gummy bears in it!?!?!? I have small grandchildren,
so I left them out; they never missed it!!
