Sweet Rolls

Prepare and let rise: 

• 1 loaf bread dough

Meanwhile, prepare filling. Combine in a small pot:

• 1 cup chopped dates
• 1 cup raisins
• 1 tsp. coriander or cinnamon
• 2 Tbsp. orange juice concentrate
• 1/3 cup water

Simmer together until dates are softened and apples are cooked. Add more water if needed to keep it from going dry. Spray a clean counter with nonstick spray. Place bread dough onto this prepared surface and stretch into a large rectangle. Spread filling to within an inch or two of the edges of the rectangle. Roll up, starting at the long side. Seal the edges of the dough closed.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray an 11×14 baking dish with nonstick spray.

Place in the pan:

• 1/2 cup maple syrup
• 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Then slice the dough into about 12 slices as follows: Take a long piece of dental floss and slide it under the roll. Everywhere you want to make a cut, bring the two ends together around the roll, and the floss will cleanly slice through the roll. Place slices cut side down into the pan, leaving a little space between each piece. Bake for 30-35 minutes.

It's especially yummy served with mixed berries, either fresh or thawed from a frozen berry mix.
