1 ring
- Serves:
- 18
ingredients
- 1 (1/4 ounce) package active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1⁄2 cup sugar
- 1⁄4 cup warm water (110-115 degrees)
- 1 cup milk, warm (110-115 degrees)
- 1⁄4 cup butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 - 3 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
-
Filling
- 1⁄4 cup butter, melted
- 1 cup salted pistachios, coarsely chopped
- 1⁄3 cup sugar
- 1 egg, beaten
directions
- In large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast and 1 Tbs. sugar in warm water; let stand for 5 minutes. Add the milk, butter, salt, 2 cups flour and remaining sugar; beat until smooth. Stir in enough of the remaining flour to form a soft dough.
- Turn onto a lightly 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 down dough. On a floured surface, roll into a 16 x 12" rectangle. Brush with melted butter. Sprinkle with pistachios and sugar. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seam to seal. Place seam side down on a greased baking sheet; pinch ends together to form a ring.
- With scissors, cut from outside edge two thirds of the way toward the center of the ring at 3/4" intervals. Separate strips slightly; twist to allow filling to show, slightly overlapping with the previous piece. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
- Brush with egg. Bake at 375 for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to wire rach to cool.

With the love and generosity of my sister-in-law who acted as our surrogate we now have a beautiful little boy, Ian. I love to camp and go jet skiing with my husband and our families. We have a wonderful chihuahua named Swiffy! She is always making us laugh. We enjoy spending time with our many nieces and nephews. I am an avid reader and I'm addicted to reality television!</p>
