Directions
roll out the pastry to a rectangle 14X18 in. (35X45cm) FOR THE FILLING: mix the nuts, sugar, baking essence, egg white and ½ 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 ¼ in (1/2cm) deep. OVEN: moderately hot BAKING TIME: about 20 minutes
