Basbousa with Almonds Recipe

Dissolve the active dry yeast in warm water (40°C) and let it sit for 10 minutes until it becomes foamy and activated.

In a mixing bowl, combine half the tin (portion of the Nestlé® sweetened condensed milk), then add the lightly beaten eggs, followed by the activated yeast mixture and vegetable oil.

Mix on low speed and gradually add the flour into the milk mixture until a dough forms.

Knead the dough until it is smooth, then cover and let it rest until it has risen.

Make the filling by mixing the remaining half of the Nestlé® sweetened condensed milk with brown sugar, walnuts and cinnamon until everything is evenly coated.

Roll the dough into a rectangle about 30 x 20 cm and 1 cm thick, spread the walnut filling evenly over the surface, then roll the dough along the longer side into a 30 cm log.

Slice the log into 3 cm rounds and place them in a greased deep baking dish, leaving about 2 cm between each roll.

Cover the rolls and let them rest for another 30 minutes so they rise further and double in size.

Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees C for 30 minutes or until the rolls are risen and golden on top.

Take the rolls out of the oven, let them cool slightly, then drizzle with Nestle Squeezy Original and Nestle Squeezy Caramel.
