Hello all! I was blog browsing like i usually do, when i came across this one:

http://aeroflotreh.blogspot.com/2011/04/nut-filled-coffee-cake-homemade-almond.html#more

The part i don't understand comes after the picture of the almond meal being sprinkled across the dough. I dont understand how they got the final product shape?

I think there is a bit of information i am just not getting.

Would have been nice if that step had pictures, huh? A little proofreading wouldn't have hurt either. icon_smile.gif

The dough was rolled jelly-roll style into a log, then sealed, probably with a little water.

The log was formed into a circle - again, sealing the dough, where the ends meet, with a little water.

Slits were cut every couple of inches with a pair of scissors.

If you allow your roll to rise in a round pan with sides (like a cake pan), you need not worry about the circle coming apart. Make sure your pan is big enough for the roll to rise properly.

Hope this helps!
