| I made two of these yesterday, one for us and one for a neighbor. I doubled the recipe. |
The dough is rolled out and covered with the filling.
Then rolled into a long tube.
And formed into a ring. I missed a pic but next, you cut the ring almost the whole way through every inch around the circle. Then you twist each piece until they are all fanned out around the ring.
These bake at 375 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
Remove them from the baking pan and let them cool on a rack.
They smell so good!
Once they have cooled, drizzle them with the glaze.
A perfect breakfast treat. however, my neighbors dug into theirs when I dropped it off. They ate it just before their dinner.
Here is the recipe for one:
Swedish Tea Ring:
Ring Dough:
1 package instant yeast (2 1/4 tsp)
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup butter, softened
2 Tb sugar
1 egg, beaten
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp. cardamom
zest of one lemon
2 1/2 – 3 cups all purpose flour
Filling:
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 TB cinnamon
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
2 Tb milk
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Heat the milk until tepid (105F-110F). In the bowl of a stand mixer,
dissolve yeast in the warm milk until foamy, about 1o minutes. Add 2 1/2
cups flour, butter, salt, sugar, egg, lemon zest and mix using the
dough hook until the dough comes together. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of
flour if the dough is still too soft. Turn it out onto a lightly floured
surface and knead until smooth and satiny, about 5 minutes.
Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat
with oil. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until
doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
Punch down the dough and turn out onto a lightly floured surface.
Roll the dough out to a 12×18 inch rectangle. Spread the softened butter
all over the rectangle. In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon,
sugar and walnuts. Spread this mixture evenly across the dough. Roll the
dough into a long roll and press the seam closed. With the seam turned
downward, seal the two ends together to make a ring.
Place the ring on a parchment paper lined baking 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 plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 45 minutes.
Bake at 375F , 20 to 30 minutes. Remove the ring from the oven, place on
a rack to cool.
When cooled, combine the powdered sugar, vanilla and milk and drizzle the glaze all over the ring.
