 Germany - Neujahrspretzel

 2 cups milk 
2 eggs 
1/2 cup butter or margarine 
1 cup powdered sugar 
2 packs dry yeast 
Water 
2 teas. salt 
1 teas. vanilla extract 
1/2 cup sugar 
1/4 cup almonds, chopped 
7 cups flour

 Heat milk and butter until very warm (120-130 degrees F.). 
Mix yeast, salt, sugar, and 1 cup flour. Slowly beat into 
warm milk. Beat for 2 minutes. Add eggs and 1 cup of flour. 
Beat for an additional 2 minutes. Add enough flour to form a 
soft dough. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. 
Place dough in a greased bowl. Let rise in a warm place 
until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour. Punch dough down and let 
rise again until doubled (1 hour more). Divide dough in half. 
Shape pretzel as follows: Roll dough into a rope about 30 inches 
long and 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Cross the ends leaving a 
large loop in the center. Flip loop back onto crossed ends to 
form a pretzel. Repeat with remaining dough. Place pretzels 
on greased baking sheets. Let rise 15 minutes more. Bake 
at 375 degrees F for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown. 
Cool on wire racks. Mix powdered sugar, water and vanilla to 
form a thin icing. Spread icing on pretzels and sprinkle with 
chopped almonds. Makes 2 large pretzels.
