Preparation

Step 1

Place water in a bowl. Sprinkle in yeast; stir until dissolved.
Add milk, sugar, butter, salt and 1-1/3 cups flour.
Beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally.
Add egg, anise extract and 1 cup flour; beat 2 minutes at high speed. Stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough.
Knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes.
Place in a greased bowl, turning to grease top.
Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.


Punch dough down; remove to floured surface.
Roll dough to 24 x 10-inch rectangle. Spread evenly with 1/2 of Creamy Orange Frosting.
Roll up tightly from long side as for jelly roll; pinch seam to seal.
Join ends together; shape into a ring. Place on greased baking sheet.
With sharp knife, make diagonal slashes on top of ring.
Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.


Bake at 350ºF for 25 minutes or until done.
Remove from sheet; place on a wire rack.
Drizzle with remaining Creamy Orange Frosting while warm.
Sprinkle with almond slices.



Creamy Orange Frosting: Combine powdered sugar, melted butter, orange juice and orange peel in a medium bowl.
