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 (beaten) for brushing
Sliced almonds
Here's how:
Grease a large bowl with a little butter. Combine the milk, sugar, butter, and yeast in a large saucepan and heat gently until the butter has melted. Grate the chilled marzipan into the mixture, then add the flour and salt. Knead with a mixer for a few minutes until you have a smooth dough. Transfer to the prepared bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for at least an hour. Divide the dough into 4 pieces and form 2 strands from each quarter. Shape these into a wreath according to the instructions. Let rise for another 30 minutes. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with sliced almonds. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (top/bottom heat) for about 30 minutes, until the wreaths are golden brown. Let cool on a wire rack.
Tip:
You can also make the wreaths smaller and bake 8 small wreaths instead of 4 medium ones.
