# Components:
→ Dough
01 - 1 lb store-bought or homemade sourdough pizza dough
02 - All-purpose flour for dusting
→ Almond Cream Filling
03 - 1/2 cup almond flour
04 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
05 - 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
06 - 1 large egg
07 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
08 - 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
09 - Pinch of salt
→ Assembly and Topping
10 - 1/2 cup sliced almonds
11 - 2 tablespoons milk
12 - 2 tablespoons powdered sugar for dusting
# Method:
01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - On a lightly floured surface, roll the sourdough dough into a 12x16-inch rectangle.
03 - In a medium bowl, cream together almond flour, granulated sugar, softened butter, egg, vanilla extract, almond extract, and salt until smooth and well combined.
04 - Spread the almond cream evenly over the rolled dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around all edges.
05 - Starting from the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Using a sharp knife, cut into 8 equal pieces.
06 - Place the rolls cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet. Gently reshape if necessary to maintain uniform size.
07 - Brush the tops with milk and sprinkle generously with sliced almonds.
08 - Bake for 22 to 25 minutes, until golden brown and visibly puffed.
09 - Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar immediately before serving.
