• Place the ring on a lightly greased cookie pan. Using a sharp knife or kitchen shears, make cuts every inch or so along the ring, cutting only three quarters of the way through. Twist each piece slightly so that the rolls fan out from the center of the ring. Cover the roll with greased plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until nearly doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

SWEDISH TEA RING

Steps:

• 1. In a saucepan, heat the milk and water just until warm (or at 80°F). Add the yeast and 1 Tbsp of the sugar, and stir until the yeast is dissolved.
• 2. Pour the yeast mixture into a large mixing bowl, and add 2 cups flour. Mix until dough is smooth and well blended. Stir in the butter, remaining sugar, eggs, salt and cardamom. Stir in 2 more cups of flour, and mix until a crumbly dough forms. Turn dough onto a floured surface, and knead about 5 minutes or until dough is smooth and elastic (easily springs back when you pinch a portion of dough and pull it toward you). Add more flour if needed to keep dough from sticking to your work surface. After kneading, the dough should be soft, supple and retain its shape when you form it into a ball. (If dough sinks or flattens, it needs more kneading.)
• 3. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm location for about 60 to 90 minutes, or until doubled in size.
• 4. Punch dough down, and divide into two portions. Set half of the dough aside.
• 5. Roll one dough half into a rectangle about 18x10-inches in size. In a small bowl, stir together 1 tablespoon of the melted butter and the almond extract. Brush the almond butter on the pastry surface. Combine the sugar and chopped almonds, and sprinkle it evenly over the butter layer.
• 6. Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly butter two small baking sheets; set aside.
• 7. Roll the wide edge of the dough like a jelly roll (it should be about 18 inches in length). Place the rolled log on one of the baking sheets. Bring the ends together to form a ring, and pinch ends together to seal. Cut dough at about 1 inch intervals about 3/4 of the way through (being careful not to cut it into slices). Repeat with remaining dough half. Set aside for 1 hour to let the tea rings double in size.
• 8. Mix the egg and water, and brush the tops of the dough with the egg wash.
• 9. Place baking sheets in the oven and bake 25 to 30 minutes.
• 10. Whisk the butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon milk until smooth but still thin. If needed for consistency, add more milk a little at a time and keep whisking until glaze is thin and smooth. Drizzle a thin line of the glaze over the top of the tea rings. Slice and serve while still warm.

SWEDISH TEA RING

Steps:

• Dough: Combine ingredients in bread machine, set on manual - white bread. Add milk as needed to make moderately stiff dough through mixing. After the first rise, remove from machine and roll out to 12" x 18" rectangle on lightly greased surface. Dough will be elastic and require much rolling and resting to hold shape. Apply filling as directed below leaving 3/4" uncovered along one long edge. Carefully roll the dough along the long side, rolling toward the edge without filling. Pinch edge to seal. If roll is uneven in thickness or too short, gently roll out to proper length and even diameter. Bring ends together to form a ring - sealing ends is not critical but if there is excess uneven dough at an end snip it off with scissors. Place ring on parchment paper. Taking scissors, cut through the roll every 1 to 2 inches around the perimeter, leaving about 1/3 of the roll uncut at the center. Twist 'slices' sideways like dominoes that have fallen. Cover and let rise 1 hour. Cinnamon Filling: Combine sugar, cinnamon and melted butter just before applying to dough. Sprinkle with chopped walnuts. Almond Filling: Brush with melted butter and crumble almond paste onto rectangle and sprinkle with sugar and sliced almonds. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Slide ring with parchment onto baking stone in the oven and bake for 10 minutes. Place foil loosely over ring and continue baking for another 10 minutes. After cooling drizzle sugar glaze over ring.
