Preparation Steps
1
In lukewarm milk, stir in the granulated sugar, then crumble the fresh yeast. Let it stand for 10 minutes, until foamy.
2
In a large mixing bowl, sift the flour. Add the salt, then make a well in the center.
3
Pour the foamy yeast mixture into the well, add the eggs and the melted butter. Start kneading until you get a soft, elastic dough.
4
Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
5
Turn the risen dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and roll it out into a large rectangle. Crumble the marzipan evenly over the dough.
6
Roll up the dough tightly, like a jelly roll, and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover and let it rest for another 30 minutes.
7
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Bake the sweet bread for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown.
8
Remove from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack. Serve sliced.
