    Make on dough cycle and remove to greased bowl. Rest in refrigerator 30
   min.  Knead briefly on floured board and roll into 15x10 in. rectangle.
   Spread filling leaving 1/2 inch border on all sides. Starting long side,
   roll into jellyroll and tuck and seal ends. Seal long seam and place on
   greased baking sheet, shaping into horseshoe. Cut slits with scissors
   through top of dough at 2 inch intervals. Cover and let rise in warm place
   till double in bulk, about 45 minutes. Brush top with beaten egg or egg
   sub. and bake in preheated oven 375 degrees for 15 to 20 min. until
   golden.  Cool slightly and drizzle with powdered sugar glaze. Almond
   Filling: Combine in small bowl and mix to spreading consistency. You may
   add more extract and sugar to taste. Also you may use 1 T. milk or more to
   thin depending on type of cream cheese.
   
    For a really festive one add candied cherries in slits and sprinkle with
   sliced almonds before baking. ---
