Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
-
Add the salt, softened butter, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Gradually mix in the flour until a soft dough forms.
-
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5-7 minutes until it's smooth and elastic. Place the dough back in the bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour, or until doubled in size.
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
-
Spread the grated marzipan evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle the brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped almonds on top of the marzipan layer.
-
Starting from one of the long edges, tightly roll up the dough into a log. Use a sharp knife to cut the log into equal-sized rolls, about 1-1.5 inches wide.
-
Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each roll. Brush the tops with the egg wash for a golden finish.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and fragrant.
-
Let the rolls cool slightly before serving.
