Here you can find a delicious recipe:
| 200 ml of milk | warm up and with |
| 50 g yeast | stir |
| 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 2 tbsp sugar and 1 egg | add and stir well |
| 75 g butter in 225 g flour | crumble and add to the yeast mixture |
| 225 grams of flour | Add to the dough and knead for at least five minutes |
| dough | Let rest for 45 minutes |
| 75 g butter and 90 g of sugar | Mix to a soft cream |
| dough | Roll out into a rectangle (30x40cm) |
| mixed cream and 150 g DEN GAMLE FABRIK jam (strawberry or raspberry) | Spread on the rolled out dough |
| 100 g grated marzipan paste | sprinkle over it |
Now roll the long side of the rectangle into a roulade. Divide the roll into three parts, but so that one end stays together! Braid the cut pieces into a “braid” and place this on a baking sheet lined with baking paper.
Brush the braid with egg or milk and let it rise in the oven for 45 minutes.
Then bake the bread at 180 ° C for about 25 minutes.
If necessary, the bread can be frozen!
