Farmer's Cheese Braid
I recommend preparing this appetizing and beautiful dessert. The combination of a crunchy layer of sugar and almond with a soft crumb makes the pastry special, and the farmer's cheese provides the dough with an excellent texture. As an alternative to almond flour, crushed almonds can be used. The recipe is designed for 6-8 servings.
