Инструкции
- Dissolve yeast in hot water in a large mixing bowl. Add in three c. flour, sugar, salt, orange rind, butter and Large eggs. Beat at low speed of electric mixer till blended. Then beat four min at medium speed. Add in remaining flour and continue beating at low speed till blended. Cover dough and let rise in hot place till doubled. Punch down, cover and chill at least eight hrs.
- Prepare filling: Combine pumpkin puree, almond paste, butter, brown sugar, spices and 1/4 c. of the toasted almonds. Stir till blended. Add in thickener (cornstarch, Clear Jell or possibly Quick Thick) as needed to thicken mix to about the consistency of a pudding. Set aside.
- Punch dough down and divide in thirds. Roll each section of dough on a floured board to a rectangle approximately 10 inches by 16 inches. Spread the dough with a thin layer of the filling. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 c. of almonds. Roll each rectangle up as a jelly roll lengthwise and seal edges together well. Braid the three sections and tuck ends under.
- Hint for braiding: Lay the three rolls side by side and braid from the middle to each end.
