DELICIOUS ALMOND BRAIDS
Similar to an almond crescent, this coffee cake is light and flaky with a rich almond center. It's so versatile you can serve it for dessert, breakfast or brunch. It will taste as if it was made from scratch at a bakery, yet the packaged puff pastry makes the recipe quick and easy. —Gina Idone, Staten Island, New York

Steps:
- Add yeast and warm water to the bowl of the mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Let stand for a few minutes to dissolve the yeast.
- Add sugar, milk, butter and egg yolks and mix on low speed.
- Gradually add in the flour. Do not over mix. The dough should be buttery and slightly sticky to the touch, but manageable.
- Remove the dough from the bowl and knead a few times until smooth on a floured surface. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 8-12 hours.
- Add butter, almond paste, and egg white to the bowl of the mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Mix on medium-low speed until smooth.
- Then add powdered sugar and flour and mix on low speed.
- Lastly, mix in the chopped almonds until well incorporated. Cover and chill until ready to assemble.
- Unwrap the dough and place it on a well-floured surface. Shape it into a rough rectangle with your hands, and then roll out into a 12-inch by 15-inch rectangle. Be patient as you roll, checking to see if the dough is sticking to the work surface and adding flour as needed.
- Trim the uneven edges with a sharp knife.
- Spoon the almond filling into the center third of the rectangle, and then pat it into an even layer.
- Use a sharp knife to cut one-inch diagonal strips in the dough from the edge of the dough to the edge of the filling.
- Fold the top and bottom edge of the dough over the filling, and then alternate folding over the strips on each side.
- Let the almond braid rise, covered with a clean kitchen towel in a warm place for 30 minutes.
- Then preheat your oven to 375 degrees, and brush the top of the almond braid with the remaining egg white and sprinkle sliced almonds over the top.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the top of the almond braid is golden brown.
- To make the glaze, whisk powdered sugar, milk, and almond extract together in a small bowl until smooth.
- Transfer the almond braid to a cooling rack and allow to cool before drizzling with almond glaze. Slice and serve.
