Instructions

Put the loaf of frozen bread in the fridge overnight to thaw.
1 loaf Rhodes frozen white bread dough or 12 Rhodes Dinner Rolls
The next day, put the dough into a bowl (if using rolls, put about 2 inches apart onto parchment paper) and set it in a warm location to double in size (I usually set mine in a sunny window). This usually takes about an hour, or so.
After the dough has risen, gently form a loaf shape (this isn't necessary if using rolls - take each roll and move on to step 5). Be careful to be as gentle as possible.
Slice about a 1/2 inch of dough off, press it out a bit to about 3/4 of the width and depth of your loaf pan (I use a 9 by 5 loaf pan)
Slather melted butter (with the almond extract stirred in) on one side of the dough, sprinkle with a teaspoon of sugar, and a scattering of almonds. Check notes for a helpful shortcut.
1/4 cup butter, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 cup sliced almonds
Fold the dough in half and set into a greased loaf pan. Repeat the process with the entire dough loaf.
After all the little squares are set into the loaf pan, drizzle the rest of the butter over the loaf and sprinkle the rest of the sugar and almonds on top.
Cover and set the loaf in a warm place to once again rise. This time let it rise enough to touch the sides of the loaf pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 35 minutes, uncovered. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes.
Let cool for a few minutes before taking out of the pan.

Notes

Helpful shortcut:
Lay all the flattened pieces on parchment paper, brush all with butter, then sprinkle sugar and almonds over everything at once instead of filling one at a time.
