Stir. Add Yolk mixture, stir well.

Gradually add 2 Cups of flour.

Roll out on a floured surface, knead for a while. May need extra flour!

Divide into 4 separate pieces.

Refrigerate for a hour.

Now take chilled dough, and roll out and fill with your favourite pie filling, a 1/2 can for each piece, divide dough in half, filling half, then fold over dough and seal well, very important.

Then with a tooth pick, poke many holes in dough around 20, to relive pressure.

Bake at 325 degrees for 30 minutes.

Cool completely and add the Almond Glaze all over the Wine Bread and then make a great pot of coffee and cut in pieces and enjoy!! and who cares if you eat the whole thing!!!
