INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

In a bowl combine hot milk, butter, sugar, and salt and let cool. In a
large bowl combine warm water and yeast, stirring to dissolve. Add
cooled mixture, the egg, and 1 1/2 cups of flour and beat well. Mix  in
remaining flour. On a lightly floured board knead the dough until
smooth and elastic. Transfer the dough to a buttered bowl and roll  the
dough around to coat. Cover with plastic wrap or a cloth and set  in a
warm, draft-free place until the dough doubles in size.  In a bowl soak
dried fruit in warm water to cover for 15 minutes.  Drain fruit,
discarding water, and chop fine. In a small bowl stir  together the
fruit and pecans.  In a small bowl stir together the sugar and
cinnamon.  Grease a large flat baking sheet.  Punch down the dough and
on a lightly floured surface roll out the  dough into a 12- by 17-inch
rectangle. Brush the dough with melted  butter and sprinkle the fruit
and nut mixture evenly over the  buttered dough. Sprinkle the cinnamon
sugar mixture evenly over the  filling. With the long side facing you
roll the dough jelly-roll  fashion and place seam-side-down. Bring ends
around to form a ring  and pinch edges to seal. With scissors, snip
into ring every 1-inch  and twist slices so cut sides are up. Cover and
let rise in a warm,  draft-free place until doubled in bulk, about 1
hour.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Bake tea ring for 35 to 40
minutes until golden brown. Transfer ring  to a rack placed over a
sheet of wax paper and allow to cool for 10  minutes. In a small bowl
whisk together confectioners' sugar and  water until smooth. Drizzle
icing over tea ring.  Yield: 1 tea ring  Recipe By     : Cooking Live
