Almond Confectioners’ Sugar
Either as an ingredient in a bread or for dusting over the top, a flavored nut-
sugar powder is an old professional trick. Almonds are the perfect nut to use,
since they are lowest in oil. This makes a fluffy sugar that keeps at room tem-
perature for up to 1 month in an airtight container.
1 cup blanched almonds

cups confectioners’ sugar
Place the nuts in the workbowl of a food processor with half of the confec-
tioners’ sugar. Process until finely ground and fluffy.
Add the rest of the sugar and process until a fine powder is
created. Use for dusting holiday breads and sweet rolls.
