Here’s the translated recipe:
---
This recipe is for two Danish pastry loaves.
1.5 tsp dry yeast
1 tsp sugar
60 ml lukewarm milk
220 g flour
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 egg
60 g cold margarine
Filling:
50 g butter
50 g sugar
100 g marzipan
1 tbsp chopped almonds
1 tbsp pearl sugar
Start by letting the dry yeast, sugar, and milk sit together in the mixing bowl for 10 minutes before adding the remaining ingredients. Knead the dough well and let it rest for 10 minutes while preparing the filling.
Mix the butter and sugar together. Grate the marzipan using the coarse side of a box grater.
Divide the dough in half, roll it out on baking paper, and place the filling in the center lengthwise. Start with the butter and sugar mixture, then add the marzipan on top, and fold the sides in toward the center, leaving a small opening in the middle. Sprinkle the chopped almonds and pearl sugar over the center.
Bake at 175°C for about 15 minutes.
Prepare a small glaze using 4 tbsp powdered sugar and a few drops of water (and food coloring if desired). Spread the thick glaze over one side after the pastries have cooled.
