This coffee ring is an old family recipe that's long been a hit with anyone who's tried it. The yeast bread is a great Sunday treat - or the perfect way to kick off your holiday celebration.

12 ServingsPrep: 1 hour + rising Bake: 40 min. + cooling

Ingredients

2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
1-1/4 cups warm 2% milk (110° to 115°)
7 tablespoons sugar
4 egg yolks
1/3 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon salt
4 to 4-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
TOPPING:
2/3 cup sugar
4 teaspoons grated orange peel
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 cup slivered almonds, divided

Directions

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 peel; set aside 2 tablespoons.
