"I grew up in Hawaii and this is a recipe we made as children. My children have helped me with it every year. We change the extra ingredients in it from year to year but it's always made with the basic dough for Hawaiian Sweet Bread.

Hawaiian Holiday Bread Dough
1/2 cup mashed potato
3/4 cup water
1 teaspoon lemon extract
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, beaten
3 1/2 cups flour
1 package yeast

Put all ingredients in order listed in a bread maker. Choose the dough setting. When dough is done, put it on a board and let it rest 10 minutes.

Glaze
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup whipping cream
1 teaspoon rum extract
1 tablespoon macadamia nut liquor
1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup chopped dried apricots

Mix glaze ingredients together. Grease a tube pan. Pour 1/3 on the bottom. Divide dough into 30 to 40 equal pieces. Arrange in layers in pan. Pour glaze in between layers. Let the dough rise until doubled.

Heat oven to 350 degrees F and bake for 30 to 40 minutes. Let stand for five minutes and turn pan upside down. Serve warm.
