How to make Braided Almond Roll Recipe
To begin making the Braided Almond Roll recipe,mix all purpose flour, salt, dry yeast mixture and knead a dough with little water. Add butter and knead again. Keep it aside for 1/2 an hour.
Next combine 2 tablespoons of milk and saffron threads and keep it aside.
Heat pure ghee in a thick bottom pan and add green cardamom powder and rava. Saute till nice aroma comes and rava is light brown in colour. Remove the rava into a bowl and keep aside.
Heat 2 cups of water and bring it to a boil. Add 1 cup of sugar and boil it till the sugar dissolves.
Now to this add rava, half of sliced almonds, raisins and saffron milk and cover it, and cook on low heat.
When the rava is cooked properly and dried, turn off the stove. Let it cool to room temperature.
Now divide the dough into 4 portions. Roll a portion with rolling pin into a rectangular sheet. Cut the edges of the sheet to give it a perfect rectangular shape.
Now give cuts on both sides of the sheet lengthwise . Keep a portion of rava filling at the centre of the sheet, and spread it lengthwise. Starting at 1 end, fold alternating strips at an angle across filling to make a braided roll. Pinch ends to seal
Similarly make other 3 rolls. Now brush the rolls with melted butter and bake them at 250 degree till they are done for about 20 minutes.
Remove all the rolls into a serving plate, sprinkle the remaining sliced almonds and drizzle some honey on them.
