Steps:
- Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 425°F. Pulse almonds and 1/3 cup sugar in a food processor until very finely ground. Add egg and pulse to combine. Add butter, almond extract (if using), vanilla extract, salt, and 1 Tbsp. flour; pulse until almond cream is smooth.
- Roll out pastry on a lightly floured surface just to smooth out any creases.
- If you're using a package of pastry that has 2 sheets, stack and roll out to a 1/4"-1/8"-thick rectangle.
- If your package contains a single 16x10" sheet of puff pastry, halve it crosswise and roll out one half on a lightly floured surface until rectangle is 1/4"-1/8" thick; save remaining half for another use. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Fold over edges of pastry to make a 1/2" border around all sides. Prick surface all over with a fork (this keeps the pastry from rising too much when baked and helps it cook through). Spread almond cream over pastry, staying inside borders. (Chill dough in the freezer for a few minutes if it becomes too soft to work with.) Set apricots, cut sides up, on top of almond cream. Sprinkle lightly with sugar.
- Bake galette until pastry is golden brown and puffed, 15-20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F and continue to bake until pastry is deep golden brown and cooked through and apricots are softened and browned in spots, 15-20 minutes longer.
- Do Ahead:
- Almond cream can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill.
ALMOND BREAD WITH AN APRICOT SWIRL
A loaf that is slightly sweet and tender with sticky apricot spread, chewy apricot pieces and crunchy almonds. If the dough is too wet, just slowly add a bit more flour (I added about ½ cup). Make sure to distribute the filling very evenly or you will have very uneven swirls. If your apricots are very dry, soak them in some hot water for about 15 minutes.

Steps:
- Heat up water and milk until they are at body temperature.
- Whisk in 1 tablespoon of sugar and sprinkle yeast over mixture.
- Wait about 10 minutes, until the mixture is frothy. If it doesn't froth up it means your yeast is dead and the bread won't rise!
- While you're waiting roughly chop 100g of your apricots and ⅓ cup of your almonds (you will knead these pieces into the bread in a couple of steps. The remaining apricots and almonds will be for your filling).
- Add sugar (1 tablespoon), salt, and butter to mixture. Mix.
- Add flour and mix until the dough starts to come together into shaggy pieces.
- Dump dough onto a surface (feel free to flour the surface a bit, but I didn't have to) and knead for about 3 minutes until dough starts to come together. Incorporate your chopped almonds and apricot (I by kneading them into the bread.
- Knead for an additional 7 minutes, until dough is smooth.
- Place dough in a bowl, and cover with cling wrap or a kitchen towel and let rise for 1½-2 hours, until doubled in size.
- In the meantime, grind together 1 cup of almonds and 2 tablespoons of sugar in a food processor until it sticks together when you press it between your fingers (it won't turn to almond butter). Transfer to a bowl.
- Place 100g of your apricots in the food processor and process until its become a paste (there may be a few chunks left. Add a splash of water if you need, but the mixture shouldn't be too wet).
- Once the dough has doubled in size, remove from bowl and press the dough into a rectangle. The rectangle should be about 6 inches wide and 12 inches long.
- Spread the almond paste and apricot paste evenly over the dough.
- Roll dough tightly (along the shorter side).
- Once dough is rolled, press seam together with your fingers and place in a 9 x 5 loaf pan, seam side down. The ends of the dough should be touching the ends of the pan (see photo above).
- Cover and let rise for another 45-60 minutes, until the loaf pan is filled and the dough just crests the lip of the pan.
- About 15 minutes before the end of your second rise, preheat your oven to 350F.
- Bake for about 45 minutes, until golden brown and hollow sounding when you knock on the bottom.
- Let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
APRICOT-ALMOND RUGELACH
A Hanukkah tradition, these rolled cookies are buttery and flaky, with a slick of jam in every bite. They might look rather fancy, but they're easy and fun to make. (This recipe makes 24 cookies.)

Steps:
- Dough: In a food processor, pulse flour, sugar, salt, and butter until butter breaks into pea-size pieces. Add cream cheese and process just until incorporated and a mass of dough is formed. Do not overmix or dough will be tough.
- Turn dough out onto a work surface and knead a couple times to bring dough into a cohesive mass. Divide dough in half and form two flat, round discs; wrap each in plastic and refrigerate for 45 minutes. (At this point, dough can be frozen for several months.)
- Filling: Lightly flour a work surface and a rolling pin, then roll one disc of dough into a 16-inch round (add more flour to prevent sticking). Evenly spread half the jam in a thin layer, stopping 1 inch from the edge of the dough. Sprinkle half the sugar over the top, followed by half the almonds.
- Assembly: Trim the outer edge of the dough to make a clean circle all around. Cut dough like a pizza into 12 triangles. Beginning at the wide end, roll up each triangle; place formed rugelach on parchment-lined sheet trays, pointed edge down. Repeat with remaining disc of dough. Freeze for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350 F.
- Bake rugelach until golden, 25-35 minutes. Remove to a wire rack, let cool, and serve.
