Combine flour, sugar, salt, and lemon peel. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal. Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add warm milk, egg, and yeast to flour mixture. Cover and let rest for 20 minutes.

Cook apricots in boiling water for 15 minutes. Stir in almonds and sugar. Cool.

Prepare sunburst:
Punch down dough and turn out on floured board. Roll dough into a 16"x10" rectangle. Spread with filling. Roll up as a jelly roll starting with the 16" edge. Seal. Cut lengthwise through the center. Turn cut sides up. On greased baking sheet, coil one strip in a pinwheel fashion, keeping cut edge up. Add the remaining strip and continue forming the pinwheel.

Cover dough and refrigerate for 2-24 hours. Let stand for 10 minutes at room temperature. Bake at 350º for 25-30 minutes. Top with confectioner's sugar icing.
