Introduction & history

Unlike semla, the famous Swedish bun filled with almond paste and whipped cream, after which it was created, the dough for semmelwrap is rolled thinly into a circle and shortly baked. Almond paste and whipped cream are then piped onto the dough, which is then folded, so that almond paste and whipped cream are peeking out one side of the wrap.
