To add an almond paste layer, crumble a thin layer onto pastry #1 before you add the cooked dough #2. Pat the crumbles down to keep them from sliding off as you add the softer dough. Bake at 400F for the first five minutes, then turn the heat down to 350. This ensures that the dough is completely cooked.
