Ingredients
Dough, made in bread machine
1 ¼ cups cream-style corn
3 tablespoons corn oil
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 large egg yolk, white reserved
2/3 cup yellow cornmeal
2/3 cup old-fashioned oats, uncooked
2 tablespoons buttermilk powder
1 ¼ teaspoons salt
2 ½ – 2 ¾ cups KING ARTHUR® Unbleached Bread Flour, divided
1 (¼ ounce) package RED STAR® Active Dry Yeast
Filling
1/3 cup dried blueberries
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
¼ cup finely chopped pecans
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground cardamom
¼ teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated
Topping
1 egg white
1 ½ teaspoons water
2 tablespoons finely crushed cornflakes cereal
1 teaspoon finely chopped pecans
½ teaspoon pure maple syrup
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions
In small bowl, mix corn, oil, and syrup together. Warm in the microwave to 80°F – 85°F. Stir in egg yolk.
In bread machine pan, add corn mixture and remaining dough ingredients, using 2 ½ cups flour. Set on DOUGH cycle. After several minutes of kneading check dough consistency. Dough should form a soft ball around the kneading blade and be slightly tacky to touch. Add additional water or flour as needed.
Grease a 9″ x 5″ loaf pan. Roll dough into an 8″ x 16″ rectangle. Sprinkle the dough with the blueberries, keeping them ½” from edges. Press/roll blueberries into the dough gently using a rolling pin. Drizzle syrup over the berries and spread with a pastry brush.
Mix together remaining filling ingredients and sprinkle over berries. Roll tightly from short side to form log; pinch seam to seal. Pinch ends and tuck under loaf. Place in pan seam-side down. Cover with plastic wrap sprayed with non-stick spray. Let rise in warm place until center of loaf is about 1″ above pan edge, 40 – 45 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350°F. For egg wash, whisk together egg white and water. In a separate bowl, mix cereal, pecans, syrup, and cinnamon. When ready to bake, gently brush top of loaf with egg wash and sprinkle with cereal mixture.
Bake 45 – 50 minutes or until internal temperature in center of bread registers at least 190°F. Tent with foil if top is browning too quickly. Cool a few minutes before removing from pan. Transfer to rack.
Yield
1 loaf, 16 servings.
