ROLL IT UP

  1. Separate 1 can of dough into 4 rectangles. On lightly grease large cookie sheet, arrange rectangles perpendicular to each other to form a cross. Corners of one side should touch while leaving a square space in the center. (See Figure 1)
  2. Separate dough from second can into 4 more rectangles. Arrange rectangles into an “X” that overlaps the cross, leaving an open circle in the center.
  3. Carefully spoon mixture around center of dough; shape into a ring leaving about 1/2 inch of dough in the center.
  4. Pull overhanging dough from outer edge towards center and over filling. Tuck and pinch dough under middle.
  5. Bake 20 to 22 minutes or until golden brown and thoroughly heated. Remove from cookie sheet to serving platter or cutting board. Cool 10 minutes before slicing.
