1. 1

   Combine 2 cups flour, 1/3 cup sugar, undissolved yeast, lemon peel and salt. Heat milk, water and butter until very warm (120: to 130:F). Stir into dry ingredients. Stir in 2 eggs, dates, 1/4 cup almonds and enough remaining flour to make soft dough. Knead on floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 6 to 8 minutes. Cover; let rest 10 minutes.

2. 2

   Reserve 1/3 of dough. Divide remaining dough into three pieces; roll each to 30-inch rope. Braid ropes. Place on greased baking sheet. Form into ring; pinch ends to seal. Divide remaining dough into 8 pieces; form into oval rolls. Place on separate greased baking sheet. Cover wreath and rolls; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 30 to 45 minutes.
