Preparation Steps
1
First, proof the yeast: in a bowl, combine the warm water and sugar, then crumble in the yeast. Let it stand for 10 minutes, until foamy.
2
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Once the yeast is foamy, add the olive oil and pour it into the flour mixture. Mix well, then knead until a smooth dough forms.
3
Cover the dough and let it rest for 1 hour to rise. The ideal temperature is around 77°F (25°C).
4
Once the dough has risen, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and gently roll it out into a rectangle shape.
5
Chop the walnuts into small pieces and sprinkle them over the rolled-out dough. Grate the marzipan and sprinkle it over the walnuts.
6
Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, then gently press the walnuts and marzipan into the dough.
7
Let the dough rest for another 15 minutes, then bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
8
When ready, let it cool slightly, then slice and serve fresh.
