Ingredients

Servings

• 3 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoon Active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• ¹⁄₂ cup Unsalted butter
• 1 Egg
• ¹⁄₂ cup Milk
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Almond extract
• ¹⁄₂ cup Raisins
• ¹⁄₄ cup Sliced almonds
• ¹⁄₂ cup Powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon Water

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together egg, milk, and almond extract. Add to the dry ingredients and mix well.
3. Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
4. Punch down the dough and roll it out into a rectangle. Sprinkle with raisins and almonds. Roll up tightly, starting from a long side.
5. Place the dough on a greased baking sheet, shaping it into a ring. Pinch the ends together to seal.
6. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
7. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
8. In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar and water to make a glaze. Drizzle over the warm tea ring.
9. Serve and enjoy!
