recipe reviews for:

Swedish Tea Ring

“This is a hand-shaped, filled yeast bread that my 2-year-old daughter loves to help prepare. The first part of this recipe is prepared in my bread machine on Christmas Eve. I make it right up to the second rise stage, then cover and refrigerate it. On Christmas morning, I allow it to warm up and rise until double in size before baking. It is especially sumptuous when it is still warm and a special treat for Christmas morning in our house. Drizzle chopped, toasted almonds over the ring if you wish.”

Make ahead-Dough can be covered in a bowl and refrigerated up to 4 days before shaping/rising. This is a childhood recipe and it's wonderful. Simple, pretty and tasty.

Although my friends liked this dessert, I felt that the dough was a little flat. I would have liked a thicker, fluffier dough. I will try doubling the yeast. Also, I'd like to mention that although I love that the recipe makes two rings, they are a bit small. That being said, the instructions were well written and it looked great.

I only wanted one coffee cake so I cut the recipe in half. Because I don’t use a bread machine, I proofed the yeast in the milk @ 110º with a teaspoon of sugar and then finished off the rest of the dough in my KA, kneading it on my pastry board at the very end, and then set it aside for its first rise. As another review noted, the filling does escape slightly from the dough during baking, but there is plenty of cinnamon-roll flavor. This recipe makes a wonderful coffee cake that is as scrumptious as it is attractive.

Very tasty. I added just a little more yeast. Turned out beautiful. Dough was very easy to work with.

I made this Christmas morning with craisins and slivered almonds. I loved it so much that I made it again for Easter with dried apricots in the filling. Instead of 2 rings, I just made one big one. It is really pretty on a big platter, and so easy!

This has become a holiday tradition for my family. It always turns out beautifully and works well if made the night before and refridgerated as well. I recommend trying this recipe :)

I had such high hopes for this bread but was very disappointed. I should have known there would be a problem when I saw the amount of yeast...3/4 teaspoon is a third of a package of yeast and that was suppose to make two bread rings rise??? It came out of my bread machince just fine, but after 1 1/2 hours of letting the rings rise, they hadn't grown at all. I baked them anyway and there was brown sugar all over the cookie sheets and the bottom of my oven. They didn't rise at all during the baking time either.

Delicious, easy, great recipe! My daughter brought it to her first grade class for a special day and it disappeared quickly. Also made it for our Christmas morning brunch, as well as for several friends for Christmas gifts. We will definitely make this again! Thanks!
