By Addie

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose Flour, divided
• 1 package active dry yeast
• 1/2 cup milk
• 6 tablespoons shortening
• 5 tablespoons sugar, divided
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg
• No-Stick Cooking Spray
• 1/3 cup silvered almonds
• 1 tablespoon butter

Preparation

Step 1

COMBINE 1 cup flour and yeast in medium bowl.

HEAT milk, shortening, 4 tablespoons sugar and salt in small saucepan just until warm (115ºF to 120ºF), stirring just until shortening softens; add to dry mixture. Add egg. Beat with electric mixer at low speed 30 seconds, scraping bowl. Beat 3 minutes at high speed. By hand, stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough.

SPRAY a 8 x 1 1/2- or 9 x 1 1/2-inch round baking pan with no-stick cooking spray. Turn dough into pan. Sprinkle with nuts and 1 tablespoon sugar. Cover; let rise until almost double in size, about 1 hour. Dot with butter.

HEAT oven to 375ºF. Bake 18 to 20 minutes.
