Ingredients
Pastry
1 2/3 cups flour1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup butter cut into ¼-inch cubes
1 1/2 cups water
Almond-Cherry Filling
1/2 cup almond paste1/4 cup cherry pie filling
Strawberry-Cream Filling
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened1/4 cup strawberry jam
Icing
1 cup powdered sugar2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
Preparation Method
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gently rub butter into flour until crumbly; there should be both large and small chunks. Add water and gently knead until well incorporated.
- Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and roll flat into a rectangle. Transfer to a lightly floured, parchment-lined enameled broiler pan, cover, and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- While dough chills, combine desired filling ingredients, mixing well until incorporated. Set aside.
- Transfer dough to lightly floured surface; fold into thirds and roll flat. Turn dough 90 degrees and fold into thirds again. Transfer back to pan, cover, and chill for 30 minutes.
- Transfer dough to lightly floured surface and fold into thirds once more. Roll dough into a ⅛-inch thick rectangle.
- Spread filling onto the center third of the rolled dough.
- Cut ½-inch strips on each side of the unfilled dough, at an angle. Alternating sides, cross strips over the filling, gently pressing the pastry strip ends together to seal.
- Transfer filled pastry to a lightly floured, parchment-lined enameled broiler pan. Slide pan into oven at rack position “ 2.” Select Bread & Pastry and Glazed and set temperature to 375° F. Bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove from oven; allow to cool slightly, then drizzle with icing and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
