Time 1h5m

Yield 2 rings (8 slices each).

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
1-1/4 cups warm 2% milk (110° to 115°)
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup mashed potato flakes
2 large eggs, room temperature
3-1/2 to 4 cups all-purpose flour
FILLING:
1-1/2 cups apricot preserves
2/3 cup sugar
5 ounces almond paste
1/3 cup butter, softened
ICING:
1-1/3 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 to 3 tablespoons 2% milk
1/3 cup sliced almonds, toasted

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. In another bowl, combine milk, butter, sugar, salt, potato flakes and eggs. Let stand 1 minute. Add milk mixture and 3 cups flour to yeast mixture; beat until smooth. Add 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 the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour., Place preserves, sugar, almond paste and butter in a food processor; cover and process until blended. Punch dough down. Divide in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into 14x7-in. rectangle. Spread filling evenly to within 1/2 in. of edges. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seams to seal., Place rolls, seam side down, on 2 parchment-lined baking sheets. Pinch ends together to form 2 rings. With scissors, cut from outside edge to two-thirds of the way toward center of rings at 1-in. intervals. Separate strips slightly; twist to allow filling to show. Let rise until doubled,35-40 minutes., Preheat oven to 375°. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool. Combine confectioners' sugar, vanilla and enough milk to reach a drizzling consistency. Drizzle over warm tea rings and sprinkle with almonds.

These tea rings were a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would use a different recipe next time.

The apricot almond filling was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would use less sugar next time.

These tea rings were a bit dry for my taste. I think I would add a little more butter or oil to the dough next time.
