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. Prepare the yeast mixture: In a small bowl, combine 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 it is smooth and elastic.
  4. Let the dough 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 it has doubled in size.
  5. 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.
  7. Spread the almond paste evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
  8. Add the chopped almonds on top of the almond paste.
  9. 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.
  10. Prepare for baking: Place the kringle on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the surface with the egg wash.
  11. Create decorative cuts along the top of the kringle, about 1 inch apart.
  12. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
  13. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

For best results, use fresh yeast. You can adapt the filling with marzipan, chocolate chips, or other nuts for variation.
