Ingredients
50 g butter + butter for greasing the bowl
300 ml milk
7 g dry yeast
50 g sugar
200 g marzipan (e.g. Heavenly Grace from Lemke )
550 g wheat or spelt flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg (whisked) for brushing
Sliced almonds
Here's how:
Grease a large bowl with a little butter. Put the milk, sugar, butter and yeast in a large pan and heat gently until the butter has melted. Grate the cold marzipan into the mixture and add the flour and salt. Knead with a mixer for a few minutes until you have a smooth dough. Put it in the prepared bowl, cover with a damp cloth and leave to rise in a warm place for at least an hour. Then divide the dough into 4 parts and form 2 strands from each quarter. Form these into a wreath according to the instructions. Leave to rise for another 30 minutes. Brush with a beaten egg and sprinkle with sliced almonds. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees (top/bottom heat) for about 30 minutes until the wreaths are nice and golden brown. Leave to cool on a cake rack.
Tip:
You can also make the wreaths smaller and bake 8 small wreaths instead of 4 medium-sized ones.
