Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 100 grams Almond flour
- 50 grams Whey protein powder, unflavored
- 125 grams Unsalted butter, chilled
- 60 ml Cold water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 50 grams Almonds, chopped
- 50 grams Walnuts, chopped
- 30 grams Sunflower seeds
- 1 large Egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoons Honey
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, whey protein powder, and salt.
Cut the chilled unsalted butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough begins to come together. Do not overwork the dough.
Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Remove the dough from the refrigerator and place it on a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough out to a rough circle about 1/4 inch thick.
Evenly scatter the chopped almonds, chopped walnuts, and sunflower seeds over the rolled-out dough. Gently press the nuts into the dough with a rolling pin.
Fold the edges of the dough to create a rustic edge around the circle. Transfer the pastry onto the prepared baking tray.
Brush the edges of the pastry with the beaten egg to create a golden crust.
Drizzle the honey evenly over the nut-covered center of the pastry.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and the nuts are toasted.
Allow the pastry to cool slightly before cutting into wedges and serving.
