- Prepare Dough: In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk. Let stand 5 - 10 minutes until foamy.
- Stir butter, sugar, lemon peel, salt, and egg into yeast mixture. Beat in flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until a dough forms.
- On a floured surface, knead dough until smooth and elastic, 5 - 10 minutes, adding more flour to prevent sticking. Place dough in a large greased bowl, turning to coat. Cover loosely with a damp cloth; let rise in a warm place until almost doubled, 1 hour.
- Prepare Filling: In a small saucepan over medium heat, cook apricots in 1/2 cup water until softened, 20 minutes.
- In a blender or food processor fitted with the metal blade, process apricots and cooking water until coarsely chopped. Stir in preserves and lemon peel. Cool completely.
- Construction: Grease 2 baking sheets. Punch down dough. On a floured surface, using a floured rolling pin, roll dough into a 20 x 11-Inch rectangle. Spread filling over dough to within 1/2 inch of edges. Starting with a long side, roll up dough, jelly-roll style.
- Using a scissors, score top of roll at 1/2-Inch intervals, cutting three-quarters through. At every third mark, cut through completely. Place twists, 2 inches apart, on prepared baking sheets.
- Pull sections apart slightly. Cover again; let rise in a warm place until almost doubled, 30 - 45 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Brush twists with beaten egg. Sprinkle with coarse sugar.
