Instructions

Make the dough

Choose the recipe size. Add the first 8 ingredients to the bread machine according to the manufacturer's instructions. Select the dough program.

Handle the dough

When the program ends, remove the dough. Press down to release air; cover and let rest for 10 minutes.

Shape and line the pan

Use an 11x7x1.5-inch pan for the 1.5 lb recipe, or a 13x9x2-inch pan for the 2 lb recipe, greased. Pat two-thirds of the dough into the bottom of the pan.

Add the filling

Mix the jam, softened margarine or butter, and almonds; spread over the dough.

Make the lattice top

On a lightly floured surface, roll the remaining dough into an 11x6-inch (1.5 lb recipe) or 13x7-inch (2 lb recipe) rectangle. Cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch-wide strips (12 strips for the 1.5 lb recipe, 14 strips for the 2 lb recipe). Weave into a lattice pattern over the filling. Trim excess dough from the edges.

Rise and bake

Cover and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until nearly doubled in size. Bake at 375°F (about 190°C) for 20 to 25 minutes (if browning too quickly, cover with foil for the last 10 minutes). Serve warm.
