From a ring bringing the two ends together and pinching together as necessary. Make diagonal cuts approximately 1/2 inch thick all the way around the tea ring. Layer the slices at an angle.
• Allow the dough to rise 3 hours before baking. Set oven at 350 degrees F and bake for 20-30 minutes. The actual duration of time will depend upon the thickness of the ring. (To push this process along turn an oven to 200 degrees F and preheat. When the dough is ready to rise turn off the oven and slide the dough in.) This should cut the rise time at least in half.
• While the tea ring is warm drizzle glaze over the bread and then garnish with additional chopped nuts and/or green and red holiday cherries.

SWEDISH CINNAMON ROLLS (VEGAN)

Steps:

• Warm the soy milk slightly - too hot will kill the yeast, too cool won't activate it -- just about lukewarm is right. In a small bowl stir together the soy milk, the yeast and the teaspoon of sugar. Set aside to let the yeast do it's thing.
• Add the next 7 ingredients (yogurt to 1/4 cup margarine) to a larger bowl and then add in the yeast mixture. Knead for about 10 minutes until a nice soft dough has formed. Cover and let rise in a warm place for about half an hour, until doubled in size.
• Mix the 2 tbsp margarine, 2 tbsp sugar and cinnamon together in another small bowl and set aside.
• Place 12 muffin liners on a baking sheet. Roll the dough into about a 10" x 12" rectangle - as close to square as you can get it.
• Spread the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the dough and then roll it up (roll from the longest side). Cut into 1" slices and place each slice in a muffin liner. Cover again and let rise for another hour, should be doubled in size.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Brush the tops of the rolls with soy milk and sprinkle with a touch of sugar. Bake for 10 minutes until golden brown.

Working with 1 slice at a time gently twist opposite ends of slice around twice to form a figure eight. Crimp ends together. Arrange rolls, a swirled side up, on a buttered baking sheet about 2 inches apart and let rise in a warm place until increased 1 1/2 times in bulk, about 1 hour.
