Kringel
Estonian braided yeast cake filled and topped with almonds, butter and brown sugar.
About Kringel
Kringel is a ring-shaped Scandinavian pastry with an established Estonian form. This profile fixes the Estonian almond-filled yeast-cake version rather than Danish puff-pastry or other regional branches.
The enriched dough is softly sweet and buttery, while ground and sliced almonds give the filling a deep nutty flavour. Brown sugar adds caramel notes and vanilla rounds out the aroma.
The baked kringel forms a large braided crown with a glossy golden-brown crust and visible almond slices. Its torn edges reveal soft layered bread wrapped around a moist almond filling.
