Add the salt, eggs, and yeast mixture and blend thoroughly.
Beat in 3 cups of flour to make a smooth batter Add additional flour to make a soft dough (dough will be very sticky).
Turn out onto a floured board and knead approximately 8 minutes or until smooth and elastic, adding more flour as needed.
Dough may be made with a standing mixer and dough hook.
Round into a ball and place in a warm buttered bowl, turning to lightly coat top with some of the butter.
Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled.
Punch down the dough and divide in half.
To prepare rings, divide dough in half and flatten into a long oval.
Spread 1/2 can of Solo almond filling on each oval, place one bean into each oval, and roll each piece into a rope.
Join ends together leaving large oval hole in the middle.
Cover and let rise until double, about 1 hour.
While the bread is rising, preheat oven to 350°F.
Bake rings for 30 minutes in the preheated oven or until golden brown and sound hollow when thumped.
Remove and let loaves cool on wire racks.
Icing: Mix all the icing ingredients together until fluffy and well blended.
To serve, frost cooled loaves with icing.
