- Punch dough down and divide in thirds. Roll each section of dough on a floured board to a rectangle approximately 10 inches by 16 inches. Spread the dough with a thin layer of the filling. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 c. of almonds. Roll each rectangle up as a jelly roll lengthwise and seal edges together well. Braid the three sections and tuck ends under.
