My mother used to prepare this delightful tea ring in the ’40s, and it’s still a favorite today. Maraschino cherries add a festive touch. –Elsie Epp of Newton, Kansas

SERVINGS: 24

CATEGORY: Lower Fat

METHOD: Baked

TIME: Prep: 30 min. + rising Bake: 20 min. + cooling

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
  • 1-1/2 cups warm water (110° to 115°)
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 2 egg whites, beaten
  • 1-1/4 teaspoons salt
  • 5-1/2 to 6 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/2 cup chopped maraschino cherries, patted dry
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • ICING:
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons fat-free milk

Directions:

In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add sugar, oil, egg whites, salt and 1 cup flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Knead on a floured surface until smooth, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a bowl coated with cooking spray; turn once to coat top. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
    Combine the walnuts, cherries, brown sugar and cinnamon; set aside. Punch dough down; roll into an 18-in. x 12-in. rectangle. Brush with butter; sprinkle with nut mixture to within 1/2 in. of edges. Roll up tightly jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; seal ends.
    Place seam side down on a 14-in. pizza pan coated with cooking spray; pinch ends together to form a ring. With scissors, cut from outside edge two-thirds of the way toward center of ring at scant 1-in. intervals. Separate strips slightly; twist so filling shows. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 40 minutes.
    Bake at 400° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack. Combine icing ingredients; drizzle over ring. Yield: 1 ring (24 slices).


  • Re: Swedish Tea Ring

    This is a wonderful recipe. My grandmother made this bread ring for Christmas morning with and almond frosting. My grandmother passed away over 20 years ago and when I think of this bread, Christmas, and Grandma, I have MANY wonderful memories. As kids we were willing to wait for presents just to have a piece of Grandma's Christmas bread. (She would keep it warm in aluminum foil in her electric frying pan.) Occasionally, she would add a couple teaspoons of orange zest which was also wonderful:)
