Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2.25 teaspoons dry active yeast
- 1 cup whole milk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 piece large egg
- 0.75 cup cherry preserves
- 0.5 cup almond paste
- 0.25 cup sliced almonds
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 tablespoon whole milk (for glaze)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, mix 3 cups of all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, and dry active yeast.
In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of milk and 4 tablespoons of butter over low heat until warm (but not hot).
Pour the warmed milk mixture into the dry ingredients. Add an egg and mix until a soft, sticky dough forms.
Gradually add the remaining 0.5 cup of flour, kneading until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Cover and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a 12x16-inch rectangle.
Spread cherry preserves evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Crumble almond paste over the cherry preserves and sprinkle with sliced almonds.
Starting from one of the long edges, tightly roll the dough into a log. Pinch the ends to seal.
Place the roll seam-side down on a greased baking sheet. Cover loosely and let it rise again for 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the roll for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Allow it to cool for 15 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk powdered sugar, almond extract, and 1 tablespoon of milk to create a smooth glaze.
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled roll, slice, and serve.
