Put the flour, 50 g sugar, salt, 50 g softened butter and egg in a mixing bowl.Warm the milk to lukewarm, dissolve the yeast in it and also add to the mixing bowl. Knead with the dough hook of the hand mixer for approx. 2 minutes to form a smooth yeast dough. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 30–40 minutes.

Mix cinnamon, 50 g sugar and vanilla sugar. Coarsely grate the marzipan. Lightly whisk the egg white with a fork, add to the marzipan and fold in loosely with a fork. Melt 60 g butter and let cool down a little

Put the yeast dough on a floured work surface, knead briefly and roll out into a long rectangle (approx. 35 x 60–65 cm). Brush the dough sheet with 2/3 of the lukewarm butter. Spread the marzipan on top, leaving an approx. 2 cm wide strip free all around, and gently press the marzipan on. Sprinkle with the cinnamon and sugar mixture.
