Wow your brunch crowd with this Cherry-Pecan Swirl Bread. If you're 
new to making bread from scratch, take your time with each step. 
Kneading can be sticky work, but don't overflour your work surface or 
the dough itself. This will make the bread tough and dense. To knead, 
fold the top of the dough in half toward you. Then, using the bottoms 
of both palms, push the dough away from you. Rotate the dough a 
quarter turn, and repeat the process until it becomes a smooth and 
stretchy ball, using little to no additional flour.

Active: 40 mins
Chill: 8 hrs
Total: 3: 35

Prepare the Dough: Cook sour cream, butter, salt, and 1/4 cup of the 
granulated sugar in a saucepan over medium-low, stirring 
occasionally, until butter just melts, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from 
heat. Cool to 110F to 115F, about 10 minutes.

Stir together warm water, yeast, and remaining 1 teaspoon granulated 
sugar in a bowl. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.

Beat sour cream mixture, yeast mixture, eggs, and orange zest with a 
stand mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment on medium-low speed, 
gradually adding 3 3/4 cups of the flour, until a soft Dough forms 
and pulls away from sides but still adheres to bottom of bowl, 2 minutes.

Turn out Dough on a lightly floured work surface. Knead until smooth 
and elastic, 10 minutes, adding up to 1/2 cup remaining flour in very 
small increments, if needed to keep the Dough workable. (It should be 
tacky but not sticky.) Place in a lightly greased (with cooking 
spray) bowl, turning to coat all sides. Cover; chill at least 8 hours 
or up to 24 hours.

Turn out Dough on a lightly floured work surface. Roll into a 20- x 
16 rectangle. Coat a 12" cast-iron skillet with cooking spray. Place 
a round sheet of parchment paper in bottom of skillet. Set aside.

Prepare the Filling: Stir together brown sugar, cherries, pecans, 
softened butter, cinnamon, and cardamom until mixture is well 
combined and the texture of wet sand.

Gently spread Filling over Dough, carefully pressing to adhere, 
leaving a 1" border on both long sides. Starting at 1 long side, roll 
up jelly-roll style. Using a serrated knife, cut log in half 
lengthwise. Arrange pieces side by side, cut sides up, on the work 
surface. Carefully twist together, keeping cut sides facing up. Form 
twisted Dough into a 9" ring, tucking ends underneath. Place in 
prepared skillet, and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Let stand in a 
warm place until almost doubled in size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

Preheat oven to 350F with rack in lower third position. Remove and 
discard plastic wrap from Dough. Bake until golden brown and cooked 
through, 35 to 40 minutes, tenting with aluminum foil after 25 
minutes, if needed, to prevent excessive browning. Remove from oven.

Prepare the Glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar and orange juice. 
Drizzle over bread. Serve warm, or transfer to a wire rack to cool 
completely, about 1 hour.
