Mmm! This delectable loaf gives you a little taste of Bavaria, thanks to the chocolaty, creamy filling and flaky crust. Ingredients:
3/4 cup (6 ounces) vanilla yogurt |
1/3 cup flaked coconut |
1 egg, separated |
1/4 teaspoon almond extract |
1 tube (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent rolls |
1/3 cup nutella |
3 tablespoons sliced almonds |
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, coconut, egg yolk and extract.
2. Unroll crescent dough onto a lightly greased baking sheet into one long rectangle; seal seams and perforations. Roll out into a 14-in. x 9-in. rectangle.
3. Spread Nutella in a 3-in.-wide strip down center of rectangle. Top with yogurt mixture. On each long side, cut 1-in.-wide strips to within 1/2 in. of filling. Starting at one end, fold alternating strips at an angle across filling.
4. Whisk egg white; brush over top and sides of dough. Sprinkle with almonds.
5. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. Cool for 10 minutes before cutting into slices. Yield: 12 servings.
