Surprise your family with a different filling every time you make this cake. Try cherry, blueberry, peach or apricot pie filling. Canned poppy seed filling or lemon curd works, too!
Prevent a thin crust from forming on the surface by covering the dough while it rests. A handy way to cover the dough? Just turn the bread machine pan upside down over it.

Be sure to use a sharp knife when cutting the roll lengthwise in half. This will help prevent the filling from pulling on the knife during cutting.
Maraschino cherries (pronounced either mar-uh-SKEE-noh or mar-uh-SHEE-noh) can be made from any variety of cherry, but the Royal Ann is most often used. The cherries are pitted and then marinated in a flavored sugar syrup. Almond flavoring is sometimes added to red cherries, and mint flavoring is sometimes added to green cherries. The cherries are then dyed with government-approved red or green dye, so they are safe to eat.

Pears are flavorful and juicy when at their seasonal peak. If pears are not in season, you can make this kuchen with canned pears. You’ll need 3 cups of well-drained, canned sliced pears.
When peaches are in season, make this custard-based kuchen with sliced peeled peaches. To peel the peaches easily, drop them into boiling water for just a minute, then remove them with a large slotted spoon. Immediately place them in iced water to stop the cooking. The peels will slip right off.
