Preparation

Step 1

DOUGH:
Place all ingredients plus 1 Tbl. margarine in pan of bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer.

Select Dough/Manual cycle.

Grease square pan, 9x9x2-inches.

HONEY-LEMON FILLING:
Mix all ingredients together

Flatten dough with hands or rolling pin into a 9-inch square on a lightly floured surface. (Let dough rest 15 minutes if difficult to flatten.) Spread the reserved 1 Tbsp. butter over the dough. Spoon Honey-Lemon filling by scant teaspoonfuls evenly over dough.

Roll dough up tightly; pinch edge off dough into roll to seal. Cut roll into nine 1-inch slices. Place slices, cut side down, in pan. Cover and let rise in a warm place 1-1 1/4 hrs. or until doubled.

Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to wire rack. Drizzle with Honey Glaze and serve warm.

HONEY GLAZE:
Heat all ingredients to boiling over medium-high heat; reduce heat. Simmer uncovered about 3 minutes or until thickened.
