This recipe for, "Fruit-Nut Breakfast Bread", will put you into the correct mind for a breakfast treat - at home, work, church, any other meeting. There are lots of changes in the fruit compositions. There is also many varieties in the species of nuts used. Check the manner of cream cheese to offer additional moisture after the bread cools overnight sitting in the refrigerator, wrapped in plastic wrap. [Do not overlook the dessert variation of this product - it sounds delicious!] Depending upon the fruit you have used, it will make a choice for whether-or-not you are using dried powdered

Made this for my Homemakers group. Everyone said it was delicious. I used a dried fruit mix of golden raisins and cherries and cut up apricots over the fruit. I used the Pillsbury Simply Rustic French Bread. The bread was tender and tasted like a traditional raisin bread. Loved it. Thanks Pillsbury.

I made this into a dessert. Unrolled bread dough, spread with softened cream cheese, topped with sugar free cherry pie filling, rolled up and twisted into a circle, put a couple spoonfuls of cream cheese in middle and topped with a couple spoonfuls of cherry filling. Baked as stated on recipe. While warm the bread is hard to cut but after sitting in the refrigerator overnight the bread softened and turned this into a heavenly dessert.

Have made this over and over for the kids for special occasions. I spread a little warmed up cream cheese with vanilla in them before I load them with Craisins and chopped pecans in one and Dried Cherry's and chopped almonds in the other, sprinkle with cinnamon and brown sugar, roll up and bake! YUMMMM
