 Categories: Desserts, Cakes
      Yield: 6 Servings
 
           Cottage cheese and oil
           Pastry (1 crust)
           Filling:
      7 oz Ground hazelnuts or almonds
           - (200 g)
  3 1/2 oz Sugar (100 g)
      4 dr Bitter almond extract;
           - up to 5 dr
      1    Egg white
    1/2    Egg yolk
      3 tb Water; up to 4 tb
           For Brushing:
    1/2    Egg yolk; beaten with:
      1 tb Milk
 
  Roll out the pastry to a rectangle 14x18" (35x45 cm).

  Filling:

  Mix the nuts, sugar, bitter almond extract, egg white, and 1/2 egg
  yolk with as much of the water as will give a good spreading
  consistency and spread evenly over the pastry with a spatula.
  Starting from the longer side, roll up the pastry like a swiss
  roll: form the roll into a ring and lay on a greased baking sheet.
  Brush with the egg yolk and make regular cuts in the surface 1/4"
  (1/2 cm) deep. Bake in a moderately hot (350°F) oven for about
  20 minutes.
