Ingredients
For the Raspberry Filling
- 2 cups raspberries fresh or frozen
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 Tbsp light brown sugar
- 1 tsp almond extract
For the Kringle
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter cubed in small pieces
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour I prefer King Arthur
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp active dry yeast
- 1 1/2 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup milk warmed
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds
For the Icing
- 1 cup confectioner's powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 Tbsp water or milk
Instructions
For the Raspberry Filling
- Add raspberries to a heavy sauce pot and crush them slightly using a wooden spoon.
- Add the sugars and almond extract and stir until combined.
- On medium-low, heat mixture until temperature reaches about 215-220 degrees (~12-15 minutes). Stir often while heating so that the filling does not burn.
- Transfer filling to a clean container and place in refrigerator to cool.
For the Kringle
- Using a pastry cutter or two forks, cut the butter into the flour.
- Place butter-flour mixture in the bowl of a countertop mixer with the paddle attached.
- Add salt, yeast, sugar, milk, and egg and beat on low until smooth. (Dough will be slightly sticky.)
- Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour (can refrigerate overnight).
- Turn dough onto a generously floured countertop and sprinkle more flour on top.
- Roll dough into approximately a 25"x10" rectangle. (If dough sticks to counter or rolling pin, add more flour.)
- Spread the Raspberry Filling down the center of the dough.
- Fold each side of the dough over the filling and pinch the seam closed.
- Join the two ends together to form an oval shape and pinch the ends together.
- Sprinkle sliced almonds around top of the kringle. (Hint: Spray the dough with a little water before adding the almonds. The water will help the almonds stick.)
- Cover and let rise in a warm (~80 degree) location for about 30-45 minutes.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 28-32 minutes or until top is golden brown.
- While kringle is cooling, make the Icing by mixing the powdered sugar, water, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.
- Once kringle has cooled slightly, drizzle with Icing.
