Ingredients

• 3.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2.25 teaspoons dry active yeast
• 1 cup whole milk
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 piece large egg
• 0.75 cup cherry preserves
• 0.5 cup almond paste
• 0.25 cup sliced almonds
• 0.5 cup powdered sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon almond extract
• 1 tablespoon whole milk (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, mix 3 cups of all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, and dry active yeast.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of milk and 4 tablespoons of butter over low heat until warm (but not hot).

Step 3

Pour the warmed milk mixture into the dry ingredients. Add an egg and mix until a soft, sticky dough forms.

Step 4

Gradually add the remaining 0.5 cup of flour, kneading until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Cover and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 5

On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a 12x16-inch rectangle.

Step 6

Spread cherry preserves evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.

Step 7

Crumble almond paste over the cherry preserves and sprinkle with sliced almonds.

Step 8

Starting from one of the long edges, tightly roll the dough into a log. Pinch the ends to seal.

Step 9

Place the roll seam-side down on a greased baking sheet. Cover loosely and let it rise again for 30 minutes.

Step 10

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the roll for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Allow it to cool for 15 minutes.

Step 11

In a small bowl, whisk powdered sugar, almond extract, and 1 tablespoon of milk to create a smooth glaze.

Step 12

Drizzle the glaze over the cooled roll, slice, and serve.
