Put the almonds in a tray for baking. Bake at very low temperature for about 20 minutes to dry the almonds. When the almonds are at room temperature, place in the food processor and grind until you get almond flour. These steps could be optional if you buy the almond flour already ready. In that case, you must carefully select that the flour is very light in color and the almonds do not have the crust.

Separate in two spheres of the same size and refrigerate for 30 minutes. The puff pastry is usually an elongated roll.
