I used this as a base recipe ---one thing I changed was to use only 2 Tbsp of cream cheese --- and added can evap milk about 1 cup --- used 1 cup applejuice fresh and 1 pear and lots of spices -- cumin- red pepper - ginger ,nutmeg and thyme & marjoram----I added a little at time and kept tasting until just enough --I cooked about 1/2 cup onion and 2 cloves of garlic and blended altogether- it is delicous--- served with pumpkin seeds and a dollop of sour cream on top - yummy!

This review is for the dough -its excellent and worth the effort and time to make. I used rapid rise yeast and it was ready in 1 hour. I use a different filling for inside. I had a little dough left over and I made a few cinnamon knots--- basically my fillling recipe is the same, but with lots of spices,beef broth and lots of garlic. I also put shredded cheddar cheese over the filling before I fold it into a pastry.We like these served with salsa. I used oregano-red pepper flakes, thyme celery seed and celery flakes, cumin salt and pepper- worcestershire sauce 2T--so play with fillingand if too bland you can doctored it up!

It had great taste and is an excellent recipe. I like the fact,I had all the ingredients on hand,as I always keep feta cheese and frozen shrimp on hand.I had fresh cherry tomatoes from my garden. I did add 1/2 teasp of red pepper flakes & 1cup of wine and used 1/2 pkg of linquine, so it was perfect -we added grated fresh parmansan on top--my husband had 3rds --I will be making again and thanks for sharing your recipe!
