A delightful pastry that combines flaky dough with sweet almond filling, perfect for any celebration or a cozy brunch.

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. Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, combine the warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the top and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Create a well in the center and add the melted butter, egg, almond extract, and the yeast mixture.
  3. Form the dough: Mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Let it rise: 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: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  6. Roll out the dough: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle about 1/4-inch thick on a floured surface.
  7. Spread the almond paste: 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.
  8. Shape the kringle: 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.
  9. Prepare for baking: Place the kringle on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the surface with the egg wash.
  10. Create decorative cuts: Use kitchen scissors to make small cuts along the top of the kringle, about 1 inch apart, to create a decorative look.
  11. Bake the kringle: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
  12. Cool and dust: Allow the kringle to cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar.

Notes

This kringle pairs wonderfully with coffee or tea, and fresh fruit like strawberries or raspberries.
