Ingredients

Servings: 12
  • 150 g Almond kernels with skin
  • 200 g Low-fat curd
  • 1 egg (size M)
  • 8 TABLESPOONS Oil
  • 6 TABLESPOONS Milk
  • 100 g Sugar
  • 1 package Vanillin sugar
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 400 g Flour
  • 1 package Baking Powder
  • 300 g Nut Nougat Cream
  • 25 g Butter
  • 7-10 Tbsp Flour
  • baking paper
  • 7-10 Tbsp Aluminium foil

Directions

  1. 1

    Roast the almonds in a small pan while turning them golden brown, take them out and let them cool down on a flat plate. For the dough, place the quark in the middle of a clean tea towel, twist the towel over the quark and squeeze out the liquid.

  2. 2

    Mix the pressed out quark (approx. 160 g) with egg, oil, milk, sugar, vanillin sugar, salt, 200 g flour and baking powder. Knead the rest of the flour with your hands until you have a smooth, supple dough.

  3. 3

    Finely chop the nuts. Roll out the dough rectangularly (40 x 55 cm) on a floured work surface. Spread nut nougat cream on top, leaving a rim of approx. 1.5 cm all around. Spread the nuts evenly on the cream and roll up the dough from the long side.

  4. 4

    Carefully place the roll on a baking tray lined with baking paper and cut lengthwise, leaving the ends of the dough together. Twist the dough strands like a cord and form them into a wreath. Place an oven-proof glass in the middle of the wreath.

  5. 5

    Melt butter in a small pot and brush the wreath with it. Bake in a preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: see manufacturer) for approx. 20 minutes, then cover with foil and bake for another 15-20 minutes.

  6. 6

    Remove and let it cool down on a cake rack.
