Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, instant coffee powder, yeast, and salt.
-
Cut the unsalted butter into small pieces and add it to the bowl. Mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
-
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
-
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Punch down the risen dough and transfer it to the prepared baking sheet. Shape it into a long braid.
-
Sprinkle the sliced almonds over the braid.
-
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
-
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 15 minutes.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make the glaze.
-
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled braid.

Serve and enjoy!
