Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets (thawed)
- 8 oz Almond paste
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp Milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond paste, granulated sugar, 1 egg, and vanilla extract. Use a fork or your hands to mix thoroughly until smooth and pliable.
Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface to smooth any creases. Cut each sheet into a 10x12 inch rectangle.
Divide the almond paste mixture into two equal portions and shape each into a long log, approximately 12 inches in length.
Place one almond paste log along the long edge of one pastry rectangle, leaving a 1-inch border. Roll up the pastry around the almond paste, sealing the seam and edges by pinching them together. Repeat with the second sheet and almond paste log.
Carefully place the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk the remaining egg with the milk to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash evenly over the tops of the rolls.
Using a sharp knife, make several small diagonal slashes across the top of each roll to vent steam during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the rolls cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice into 1-inch pieces before serving and enjoy the flaky, nutty goodness of Banket Almond Roll!
