A delightful pastry that combines buttery dough with sweet almond paste, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup whole milk, warmed to 110°F
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/2 cup almond paste
  • 1/4 cup chopped almonds
  • 1 egg wash (1 egg whisked with 1 tablespoon water)
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Combine warm milk and sugar in a small bowl. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the top and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Whisk together the flour and salt in a large mixing bowl. Create a well in the center and add the melted butter, egg, almond extract, and the yeast mixture.
  3. Mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  5. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  6. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle about 1/4-inch thick on a floured surface. Spread the almond paste evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Sprinkle the chopped almonds on top of the almond paste.
  7. Roll the dough tightly, starting from one long side, and pinch the seams to seal. Shape it into a ring and pinch the ends together, creating a circle.
  8. Place the kringle on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the surface with the egg wash. Use kitchen scissors to make small cuts along the top of the kringle, about 1 inch apart, to create a decorative look.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
  10. Allow the kringle to cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar.

Notes

For added flavor, brush the top of your kringle with melted butter before dusting with powdered sugar.
