Preparation
- Cook the sugar, cinnamon, and water for the candied almonds until the sugar begins to caramelize, then stir in the almonds. Mix until the almonds are coated with the sugar mixture. Pour onto baking paper and let cool.
- Place the mix, water, and egg in a bowl and knead for 8 minutes at medium speed, then gradually knead in the butter in small pieces. Let the dough rise for 30 minutes at 30°C.
- For the filling, finely grind the candied almonds and mix well with the butter. Grease a loaf pan and dust with flour.
- Roll out the dough thinly on a work surface, spread the almond butter evenly on it, and roll it up lengthwise. Cut the roll lengthwise down the middle, leaving 2 cm of one end uncut. Twist the two halves around each other and place in the loaf pan. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise for 30 minutes at 30°C.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (top and bottom heat).
- Brush the braid with beaten egg and bake in the oven for about 40 minutes.
