Ingredients:

  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 2-1/4 tsp quick-rise yeast
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup 2% milk
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup butter, cubed
  • 1 egg
  • almond filling:
  • 1/3 cup almond paste
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped almonds
  • egg wash:
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp water
  • glaze:
  • 2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 2 to 3 tbsp 2% milk
  • 1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup flour, sugar, yeast, lemon peel and salt. In a saucepan, heat milk, water and butter to 120°-130°. Add to dry ingredients; beat until smooth. Add the egg, egg yolk and 1/2 cup flour; beat for 2 minutes. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
  2. Turn onto a floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Cover and let rest for 20-30 minutes. Punch dough down. Divide into three pieces; roll each into a 24-in. x 4-in. rectangle.
  3. In a small bowl, beat filling ingredients. Spread over dough to within 1 in. of edges. Roll up, starting with a long side; pinch seams to seal. Place ropes on a floured surface; gently braid. Place in a well-greased 10-in. tube pan. Pinch ends to seal. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
  4. Beat egg with water; brush over braid. Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes. Carefully remove from pan to a wire rack. Combine the first five glaze ingredients; drizzle over warm braid. Top with almonds. Yield: 1 coffee cake (16 slices).
