Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 300 grams
• Active dry yeast - 7 grams
• Granulated sugar - 50 grams
• Salt - 5 grams
• Warm water - 150 ml
• Olive oil - 50 ml
• Egg - 1 large (optional for egg wash)
• Ground cinnamon - 1 teaspoon
• Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
• Butter - 50 grams (for filling)
• Almonds, chopped - 30 grams (for topping)
• Powdered sugar - for dusting

Steps

1. In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast and 10 grams of sugar in warm water; let it sit for 10 minutes until frothy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, remaining sugar, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
3. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture, and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.
4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
6. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
7. Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a circle about 1 cm thick.
8. Spread a thin layer of butter on each circle, sprinkle with chopped almonds, and fold them over to form half-moons. Seal the edges.
9. Brush the tops with beaten egg (if using) for a golden finish, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
11. Allow the pastries to cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar and serving.
