      Title: Sophia's King Cake
 Categories: Cakes, Desserts, Snacks
      Yield: 2 Cakes
 
MMMMM---------------------------PASTRY--------------------------------
      1 c  Milk
    1/4 c  Butter
    1/2 oz (2 env) active dry yeast
    2/3 c  Lukewarm water
    1/2 c  Granulated sugar
      2 lg Eggs
  1 1/2 ts Salt
    1/2 ts Freshly grated nutmeg
  5 1/2 c  All-purpose flour

MMMMM--------------------------FILLING-------------------------------
      1 c  Packed brown sugar
      1 tb Ground cinnamon
    1/2 c  Melted butter

MMMMM---------------------------ICING--------------------------------
      2 c  Confectioner's sugar
      3    4 Tbsp water
 
  Scald milk, remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup of
  butter. Allow mixture to cool to room temperature.
  
  In the bowl of your stand mixer, dissolve yeast in the
  warm water with 1 tablespoon of the white sugar. Let
  stand until frothy, about 10 minutes.
  
  When yeast mixture is frothy, add the cooled milk
  mixture. Whisk in the eggs. Stir in the remaining
  granulated sugar, salt and nutmeg.
  
  Place the bowl into your stand mixer and beat the flour
  into the milk/egg mixture 1 cup at a time. When the
  dough has pulled together, switch to the dough hook and
  knead at low speed until smooth and elastic, about 5
  minutes.
  
  Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl
  and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth or
  plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled
  in volume, about 1 1/2 hours. When risen, punch down and
  divide dough in half.
  
  Set oven @ 375ºF/190ºC.
  
  Grease 2 cookie sheets or line with parchment paper or
  silpat.
  
  TO MAKE FILLING: Combine the brown sugar, ground
  cinnamon and butter.
  
  Roll dough halves out on a well-floured surface into
  large rectangles (approximately 10" x 16"). Sprinkle the
  filling evenly over the dough and roll up each half
  tightly like a jelly roll, beginning at the wide side.
  Bring the ends of each roll together to form 2 oval
  shaped rings. Place each ring on a prepared cookie
  sheet. With scissors make cuts 1/3 of the way through
  the rings at 1" intervals. Let rise in a warm spot until
  doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
  
  Bake for 30 minutes. Push the doll into the bottom of
  the cake. Pour the icing over the cake while warm and
  decorate as desired.
