Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a small bowl, whisk the egg for the egg wash and set it aside.

In a mixing bowl or stand mixer, combine the ground almonds, powdered sugar, and salt.

Add the butter, egg, and almond extract to the dry ingredients and mix until a paste-like consistency forms.
Step 5
Unfold one sheet of puff pastry onto the prepared baking sheet.

Cut slits 1 inch apart from the two longer sides of the pastry rectangle, leaving a 1/2 inch border for the almond mixture.

Remove the top and bottom corner strips of pastry and fold the top inside over the almond paste to secure it.

Starting at one end, fold the pastry strips over the almond mixture on a diagonal, alternating sides to create a braided pattern.
