Try my prizewinning pastry! These rolls are so popular that they often don't even cool completely before the pan is empty. —Perlene Hoekema, Lynden, Washington

Ingredients

  • 2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
  • 3/4 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
  • 3/4 cup warm 2% milk (110° to 115°)
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 5-1/4 to 5-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • filling:
    • 1/2 cup almond paste
    • 1/4 cup butter, softened
    • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
    • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
  • topping:
    • 3 tablespoons sugar
    • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
    • 1 tablespoon butter
  • icing:
    • 1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
    • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
    • 1 to 2 tablespoons 2% milk

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the milk, butter, sugar, eggs, salt and 2 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
  2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 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.
  3. Punch dough down; roll out to a 15x10-in. rectangle. In a large bowl, beat filling ingredients until smooth. Spread over dough.
  4. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a short side; seal seams. Cut into 12 slices. Place cut side down in a greased 12-in. cast-iron skillet or 13x9-in. baking pan. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°.
  5. Combine topping ingredients; sprinkle over rolls. Bake until golden brown, 35-40 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
  6. In a small bowl, combine confectioners' sugar, extract and enough milk to achieve drizzling consistency; drizzle over rolls.
