First mix flour, water and yeast, cover and allow to rise in a tub for 20 minutes.
Then mix in Damco fruit bread mix with butter and the salt; knead the dough into a thoroughly kneaded dough. Desired dough temperature is 26°C.
Carefully mix the filling in. Weigh the dough into 750 g pieces. Shape immediately and proof for 20 minutes.
Roll with a rolling pin, put a slit in the middle, and place a 150 g almond paste roll inside.
Press the breads tightly around the almond paste and ensure no air pockets are left behind.
Brush the breads with whole egg to give it a nice sheen.
Place the breads on a baking tray, proof for a further 20 minutes, then bake.

Note: The recommended almond paste used in this recipe is ready to use (indicated with K+K). You can also use a regular Damco almond paste, just add 5-7% whole egg.
