Preparation

Step 1

In bread machine pan, place the first 11 ingredients in order suggested by manufacturer. Select dough setting. Check dough after 5 minutes of mixing; add 1-2 tablespoons of water or flour if needed.

Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, combine sauce ingredients; cook and stir until blended. Remove from heat.

When dough cycle is completed, turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Divide into 36 portions; shape into balls.

Arrange half of the balls in a greased 10-in. fluted tube pan; cover with half of the sauce. Repeat, being sure to thoroughly coat the top layer with sauce.

Let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 375°. Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Cover loosely with foil if top browns too quickly.

Cool in pan 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate. Serve warm.
