Dutch Christmas Log

Ingredients

400 g almond paste

2 eggs

1 sheet fresh puff pastry

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 200°C and prepare a baking tray by lining it with parchment paper. Roll out the puff pastry and slice it into two long strips.

Create the almond filling by combining the almond paste with one egg. Mix and knead the mixture until smooth.

Divide the almond filling into two portions and form each into a log, slightly shorter than the pastry strips. Place the almond filling in the center of each pastry piece.

Dab the short ends of the pastry with water. Wrap and seal the almond filling by folding the pastry over the mixture. Use a little water on the long edges to ensure they seal tightly.

Place the prepared pastries seam-side down on the lined baking sheet. Brush the tops with the remaining beaten egg.

Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

This is the second time we have sold with Ben and both times the result has been outstanding. On a personal level we click and its clear he actually cares about both the sellers and the buyers he is working with. The result we achieved and the sheer quantity of offers received in a dead market shows what an outstanding salesman and marketer Ben (and is his team) is.

Ben, Peter and Jade. You guys are the most awesome Real Estate Agents we have ever met. We went to hundreds of open homes and met many agents throughout our search for a home, yet we would come back to you straight away for our next house. Thank you!

Ben worked exceptionally hard on our behalf to get the sale over the line. Ours was not straightforward by any means, and Ben navigated through the many twists and turns to ensure a very satisfactory outcome for us. We highly recommend Ben. 🙂
