Instructions
For Bread Machine:
Place all ingredients into the pan of your bread machine as stated in the directions. Use the dough cycle.
For a Stand Mixer:
Place 2 cups of flour, sugar, yeast, orange peel, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer.
Heat the milk, butter and orange juice to 125 degrees.
Turn on mixer, and gradually add the liquid ingredients, scraping down the bowl occasionally.
Add the eggs and remaining flour. Continue to mix until thoroughly combined. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
Divide dough into 3 equal portions and roll into a ball.
Roll each ball into a 6 inch by 20 inch rectangle.
Spread each rectangle with raspberry preserves, and roll into a long rope. Pinch seams and ends together.
Place all three ropes on a silpat/parchment lined baking sheet.
Braid the ropes together. Cover and allow to rise until doubled, about one hour.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat egg yolk with milk and brush over the top of braid.
Place in the oven and bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until done.
Remove from oven and cool on a wire cooling rack.
Glaze:
Whisk powdered sugar, almond extract, and milk together in a small bowl until smooth.
Drizzle over cooled braid. Sprinkle sliced almonds over glaze. Allow to set and then serve.
