This coffee ring is an old family recipe that's long been a hit with anyone who's tried it. The yeast bread is a great Sunday treat - or the perfect way to kick off your holiday celebration. Ingredients:
2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast |
1-1/4 cups warm 2% milk (110° to 115°) |
7 tablespoons sugar |
4 egg yolks |
1/3 cup butter, melted |
1 teaspoon salt |
4 to 4-1/4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
topping: |
2/3 cup sugar |
4 teaspoons grated orange peel |
3 tablespoons butter, melted |
1/2 cup slivered almonds, divided |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk. Add the sugar, egg yolks, butter, salt and 2 cups flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).
2. 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.
3. Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Divide into 24 pieces; shape into balls. In a shallow bowl, combine sugar and orange peel; set aside 2 tablespoons.
4. Dip balls in melted butter; roll in remaining sugar mixture. Arrange in a greased 10-in. fluted tube pan. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup almonds. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
5. Sprinkle with reserved sugar mixture and remaining almonds. Bake on lowest oven rack at 350° for 38-42 minutes or until golden brown (cover loosely with foil if browning too quickly). Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Yield: 12 servings.
