Requirements for a pastry bar
- Brand Ne wCake Almond paste 500 grams;
- 1 egg;
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest;
- Roombutter puff pastry (preferably a large 1-piece slice. If you don't have this, you can also lay several sheets of puff pastry with the edges together and gently roll out).
How to prepare
1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees celsius.
2. In a bowl, mix the Bouwhuis almond paste with half a beaten egg. Do not throw away the other half of the egg, you can brush the almond stick with this before it goes into the oven.
3. Add the lemon zest to taste. If you don't like this, you can also leave it out.
4. Roll out your buttercream puff pastry on a surface you can also easily take it off, such as a cutting board or placemat.
5. Spread your almond paste mixture like a long 'sausage' over the longest part of your butter puff pastry. Note; to roll it well, it is important that your mixture is about 5 cm from the side.
6. Carefully roll the 5 cm strip of puff pastry over your almond paste mixture and roll all the way through. Grease the last piece of puff pastry im with a little egg, so that the seam is neatly sealed.
7. Place your almond stick with the seam under on your baking tray with baking paper and brush it with the remaining leftover beaten egg.
8. Place the baking tray with almond stick in the oven for 25 minutes. Is the puff pastry nicely golden brown? Then your almond bar is ready!
Serving tip: preferably serve warm. Have you made the bar before and still want to serve it warm? Then put your almond stick in a preheated oven for a few minutes. This way your puff pastry will also get nice and crispy again!
