Ingredients

2 c. powdered sugar
1/2 tsp. almond flavoring
milk (small amount)
nut halves
candied cherries (both red and green)

Preparation

Place defrosted bread in oiled bowl and cover with tea towel. Let rise in warm place 3 to 4 hours.
Punch down (do not knead). Stretch onto an oiled cookie sheet to approximately 8 1/2 x 12-inch rectangle.
Spread with soft butter or oleo.
Sprinkle with brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon, raisins, ground nuts and candied fruits.
Roll like a jelly roll.
Wet hands and pinch ends together securely, making a large ring.
Cut with scissors every 1/2-inch around the ring.
Using hands, twist each section to lay flatter and hide the cookie sheet.
Let rise until almost double in warm place.
