Melt the fat. Mix flour, diabetic sweetener, lemon zest, salt, vanilla pulp and 75 g almonds. Warm up the milk. Dissolve yeast in it. Add yeast milk, melted fat and egg yolk to the flour. Knead everything with the dough hooks of the hand mixer to a smooth dough. Cover the dough and let it rise for about 40 minutes in a warm place. Knead dough well and divide into equal parts. Form four strands (each approx. 40 cm long) on a floured work surface. Form two strands each into cords. Place the cords close together on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Press the ends of the cords together. Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C / convection oven: 175 °C / gas: level 3) for 40-45 minutes
Whisk the egg. Brush Striezel with it about 15 minutes before the end of the baking time, sprinkle with remaining almonds and bake until done. Let the Striezel cool down
