  • In a small bowl, stir together egg, the 1/2 cup sugar, and the cream. Arrange fruit on dough in pan. Spoon egg mixture over fruit.

  • In a medium bowl, stir together flour, the 1/2 cup sugar, and the cinnamon. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle over fruit.

  • Bake in a 375 degree F oven for about 25 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Makes 12 servings.

*

Rolling out the thawed bread dough may take a while because the dough can be very elastic. One technique is to roll out the dough as far as possible, cover with plastic wrap, and wait for about 5 minutes, then continue the process.
