Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, melt 50 grams of butter and let it cool slightly.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt.

Step 3

Add the instant yeast and erythritol, mixing well.

Step 4

Incorporate the cooled melted butter, egg, and warm milk into the flour mixture.

Step 5

Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth.

Step 6

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 7

While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. In a mixing bowl, combine ground almonds, ground hazelnuts, cinnamon, almond milk, and 30 grams of melted butter.

Step 8

Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air and roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle, about 1 cm thick.

Step 9

Spread the nut filling evenly over the dough.

Step 10

Roll the dough tightly from the long side to form a log.

Step 11

Cut the log into 12 equal slices and place them cut side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 12

Cover the slices with a clean towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.

Step 13

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 14

Beat the second egg and brush it over the tops of the pastries.

Step 15

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
