Instructions
In a small bowl, combine apricots and water; let stand for 1 hour.
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in water; let stand for 5 minutes.
Add the sour cream, sugar, salt, butter, eggs and 2 cups flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes.
Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch dough down; divide into thirds. On a floured surface, roll each third into a 15-in. x 6-in. rectangle.
Place each on a greased baking sheet. Spoon a third of the filling down the center of each rectangle. On each long side, cut 1-in.-wide strips 2 in. into the center. Starting at one end, fold alternating strips at an angle across filling. Seal end. Cover and let rise until almost doubled, about 30 minutes.
Bake at 375° for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Cover with foil if browning too fast. Cool.
Combine sugar and milk; drizzle over bread.
Garnish with cherries and apricots if desired.
