Orange Pull-Apart Coffee Ring Recipe.

Ingredients:

2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
1-1/4 cups warm 2% milk (110 degrees to 115 degrees )
7 TBSPs sugar
4 large egg yolks, room temperature
1/3 cup butter, melted
1 TSP salt
4 to 4-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
TOPPING:


1/2 cup slivered almonds, divided
2/3 cup sugar
4 TSPs grated orange zest
3 TBSPs butter, melted

Recipe Instructions:

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk.
Add the sugar, egg yolks, butter, salt and 2 cups flour; beat until smooth.
Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).

Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes.
Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top.
Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

Punch dough down.
Turn onto a lightly floured surface.
Divide into 24 pieces; shape into balls.
In a shallow bowl, combine sugar and orange zest.

Sprinkle 1/4 cup almonds into a greased 10 inch fluted tube pan.
Dip half the balls in melted butter; roll in sugar mixture.
Arrange over almonds.
Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup almonds.
Repeat with remaining balls.
Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.

Bake on lowest oven rack at 350 degrees for 38-42 minutes or until golden brown (cover loosely with foil if browning too quickly).
Cool for 10 minutes before inverting onto a platter.
