Instructions
In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, sugar, yeast and salt. In a small saucepan, heat milk and butter to 120°-130°.
Add to dry ingredients; beat just until moistened.
Add egg and extract; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
For filling, in a small bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar and extract until smooth. Punch dough down and turn onto a lightly floured surface.
Roll into a 14x7-in. rectangle.
Spread cream cheese mixture evenly to within 1/2 in. of edges.
Sprinkle with cherries and almonds.
Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seam to seal.
Place seam side down on a greased baking sheet; pinch ends together to form a ring. With scissors, cut from outside edge to two-thirds of the way toward center of ring at 1-in. intervals. Separate strips slightly; twist to allow filling to show.
Bake 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned.
Remove from pan to a wire rack to cool.
Combine glaze ingredients; drizzle over warm tea ring.
