Ingredients

• 200 grams All-purpose flour
• 100 grams Almond flour
• 50 grams Whey protein powder, unflavored
• 125 grams Unsalted butter, chilled
• 60 ml Cold water
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 50 grams Almonds, chopped
• 50 grams Walnuts, chopped
• 30 grams Sunflower seeds
• 1 large Egg, beaten
• 2 tablespoons Honey

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, whey protein powder, and salt.

Step 2

Cut the chilled unsalted butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough begins to come together. Do not overwork the dough.

Step 4

Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 6

Remove the dough from the refrigerator and place it on a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough out to a rough circle about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 7

Evenly scatter the chopped almonds, chopped walnuts, and sunflower seeds over the rolled-out dough. Gently press the nuts into the dough with a rolling pin.

Step 8

Fold the edges of the dough to create a rustic edge around the circle. Transfer the pastry onto the prepared baking tray.

Step 9

Brush the edges of the pastry with the beaten egg to create a golden crust.

Step 10

Drizzle the honey evenly over the nut-covered center of the pastry.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and the nuts are toasted.

Step 12

Allow the pastry to cool slightly before cutting into wedges and serving.
