Barbara can I use puff pastry dough such as pepperidge farms dough? Would you know how to make a cinammon pecan coffee cake.

You might check out the temperature for the water your recipe says 120-130 degrees. I made this yesterday following your directions and my bread didn’t puff up as much. I checked the red star yeast website after and theirs state 80 degrees. The cherry and cheese inside tasted good but the bread could have been better if it puffed more. Another tip you might put down makes 2 loafs like the red star yeast site has so people know. I didn’t really want two cherry and cheese loaves so I made a chocolate one with the extra dough.

My parents seriously thought I bought this at a bakery, and they were very impressed to find out I made it at home! I love that you get two big coffee cakes per recipe!
I added 1 tsp almond extract to the cheese filling and icing, plus slivered almonds on top before baking. It is such a great recipe!

This was a very pretty and tasty coffeecake. For our tastes I cut the salt to 1 tsp. and added a little more sugar to the cream cheese filling. I was a little surprised that the dough DID make plenty for two coffeecakes, so I made one with brown sugar and cinnamon instead of cherries. One recommendation is to either roll your dough on a piece of parchment paper that you can transfer to your baking pan or shape your dough in your pan. It can be difficult to transfer to the baking pan once it’s filled. Thanks for a great recipe! Will use again. : )

In reply to marcelle jordan. Hi Marcelle - you could definitely give it a try that way. Sometimes the dough will rise too much in the fridge if the yeast is really active, but I haven't tried it with this recipe. Let me know how it goes if you try it.

I see in the delay baking link that another option is to shape the dough and then refrigerate overnight. Is there any particular reason why you choose to refrigerate after kneading? It seems like the rise would take less time and I would be more prepared if I shaped and then refrigerated.
