Ingredients

DOUGH

500 gram Flour
150 gram Butter room temperature, but not too soft
3 gram Salt
100 gram Cane Sugar
50 gram Egg about 1 egg at room temperature
2 gram Cardamom ground
175 gram Milk
75 gram Yeast

FILLING AND DECORATIONS

100 gram Raisins about
2 pcs. Egg lightly beaten
Sugar
100 gram chopped almonds or nuts

REMONCE

200 gram Cane Sugar
50 gram Marzipan
200 gram Unsalted butter room temperature
50 gram Syrup high quality - preferably with a flavor, e.g., maple syrup

Instructions

Dough

Place flour, butter in small chunks, salt, brown sugar, egg, and cardamom in a bowl.
Warm the milk until it's lukewarm and dissolve the yeast in it.
Pour the lukewarm milk and yeast mixture into the bowl with the other ingredients and knead the dough thoroughly.
Add a little more flour if necessary.
Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let the dough rise to double size in a warm place.
Sprinkle a little flour on the kitchen counter and shape the dough into a ball.
Let it rest for 3-4 minutes.
Roll out the dough - it should be about twice the length of the baking sheet and have a width of around 40 cm.

Remonce

Knead brown sugar and marzipan together.
Add the soft butter a little at a time and stir in the syrup.
The remonce is now ready to use.

Baking

Spread the remonce on the dough and sprinkle with raisins.
Cut the dough lengthwise so you get two long pieces, each 20 cm wide.
Fold the dough over the filling from each edge and press down well in the center with your fingers so it is closed around the filling.
Shape the dough into 2 kringler and place them on baking paper on one or two baking sheets - or cut the dough into 4 equal pieces.
Cover everything again with a damp cloth and let the kringler rise to double size at room temperature or a little warmer.
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (392 degrees Fahrenheit).
Brush the kringler with egg, sprinkle them with sugar, almonds, or nuts, and bake them for 15-20 minutes.
