Best Baking Tips; Ingredient Tips
Almond Cinnamon Rolls are a great and delicious way to start your day! Here are some tips to make sure your rolls come out perfect every time.
When it comes to the dough, you want to make sure it’s nice and soft. This will help ensure that the rolls are light and fluffy. If your dough is too dry, it will result in tough rolls. To achieve the perfect dough consistency, add enough milk so that the dough is soft, but not sticky.
As for the filling, you can really go wild with what you put inside. However, I recommend using a mixture of almond paste, cinnamon, and sugar. This classic combo provides just the right amount of sweetness and flavor. If you want something a little different, you could also try adding in dried fruits or other nuts.
Finally, don’t forget the frosting! A classic roll is nothing without a delicious frosting drizzle on top. I recommend using a simple mixture of cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Once your rolls are out of the oven and cooled, simply drizzle the icing over top and enjoy!

How to make your own homemade Almond Paste
Almond paste is a sweet, dense paste made from ground almonds. It is commonly used in baking, and can be found in a variety of desserts such as cookies, cakes, and pastries. These can also be used to make candles, soaps, and cosmetics. While it is possible to buy almond paste at the store, it is also easy to make at home. All you need are some almonds, sugar, water, and a food processor.
To make almond paste, start by blanching the almonds. This will remove the skins and make them easier to grind. Then, combine the almonds and sugar in a food processor or blender, and process until the mixture becomes a fine powder.
Next, add water to the mixture a little at a time while continuing to blend or process the ingredients. The amount of water you’ll need will depend on how moist or dry your almonds are. You should add enough water so that the mixture forms a thick paste.
Once you’ve reached the desired consistency, transfer the almond paste to a clean jar or container and store it in the fridge for up to two weeks. Almond paste can be used in a variety of recipes or simply enjoyed on its own. Try using it to make Almond Cinnamon Rolls or another favorite dessert. With this simple recipe, you can enjoy homemade almond paste anytime you like.
