Ingredients

  • Dough
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 envelopes Fleischmann’s® RapidRise® Instant Yeast
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1-1/4 cups milk
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1 egg
  • Peanut Butter Filling
  • 2/3 cup peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter OR margarine, softened
  • 1 egg
  • Chocolate Glaze
  • 2 (-ounce) squares semi-sweet chocolate
  • 1 tablespoon butter OR margarine
  • 1/4 cup chopped peanuts

Directions

  1. Combine 1-1/3 cups flour, sugar, undissolved yeast, and salt in large mixer bowl. Heat milk, water, and peanut butter until very warm (120° to 130°F). Gradually add to flour mixture. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer. Add egg and 1/2 cup flour; beat 2 minutes at high speed. Stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cover; let rest 10 minutes.
  2. Divide dough into 2 equal portions. Roll each half to 14 x 8-inch rectangle. Spread each with half of Peanut Butter Filling. Roll up tightly from long side, pinching seam to seal. Cut each into 8 equal pieces. Place, cut side up, in 2 greased 9-inch round pans. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
  3. Bake at 375°F for 15 to 20 minutes or until done. Remove from pans; cool on wire racks. Drizzle with Chocolate Glaze; sprinkle with chopped peanuts.
  4. Peanut Butter Filling: Combine all ingredients in small bowl; stir until smooth.
  5. Chocolate Glaze: Microwave chocolate and butter in microwave-safe bowl on HIGH (100%) for 25 seconds; stir. Microwave on HIGH for an additional 25 seconds; stir. Note: Microwave cooking times may vary.
