We've heard from some bakers who have tried adding a thin layer of almond paste between the two layers of pastry. We think that might be a more effective way to incorporate this ingredient into your puff loaves, as it will be distinct and flavorful. Or if you're looking for a more subtle addition of almond flavor, try mixing 1/4 to 1/2 cup of almond paste into the choux pastry once it comes together, noting that it won't puff quite as readily using this variation. Either way, it'll be delicious. Happy baking! Kye@KAF
