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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface to smooth any creases. Cut each sheet into a 10x12 inch rectangle.

Step 4

Divide the almond paste mixture into two equal portions and shape each into a long log, approximately 12 inches in length.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Carefully place the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Using a sharp knife, make several small diagonal slashes across the top of each roll to vent steam during baking.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.

Step 10

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.

Step 11

Slice into 1-inch pieces before serving and enjoy the flaky, nutty goodness of Banket Almond Roll!
