Oslo Kringle Recipe 10 Cents Serving Good Cheap Eats

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water and sprinkle it with sugar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.

2. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the flour and cubed butter. Use a pastry cutter or your hands to blend the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

3. Pour the yeast mixture into the flour and butter mixture. Stir until a soft dough forms. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour, or until it doubles in size.

4. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a large rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.

6. In another bowl, mix the powdered sugar, almond extract, chopped almonds, and egg to create the almond filling.

7. Spread the almond filling evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

8. Starting from one long side, roll the dough into a log, pinching the seams to seal. Gently transfer the log onto the prepared baking sheet, forming it into a circle and tucking the ends underneath to secure.

9. Use a sharp knife to make several diagonal cuts along the top of the dough, about 2 inches apart, without cutting all the way through.

10. Brush the kringle with milk to give it a golden finish.

11. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the kringle is golden brown and fragrant.
