  • 25 gram Yeast
  • 100 gram Milk
  • 1 pcs. Egg
  • 12.5 gram Sugar
  • 4 gram Vanilla Sugar
  • 75 gram Butter
  • 300 gram Wheat Flour
  • 1 pcs. Egg Whipped. For garnish
  • Pearl Sugar For garnish
  • Hazelnuts Flakes. For garnish

Vanilla Cream

  • 2 pcs. Egg
  • 50 gram Sugar
  • 16 gram Cornstarch
  • 300 gram Whole Milk
  • 1 pcs. Vanilla Pod

Marzipan Cream

  • 0.25 l Cream

Instructions

Sweet yeast dough buns

  • Warm the milk and dissolve the yeast in it.
  • Whisk in eggs, sugar, and vanilla sugar.
  • Crumb the butter into the flour and fold in the milk mixture.
  • Knead into a light and smooth dough.
  • Let it rise for 1 hour.
  • Roll out 8 buns - brush with beaten egg - sprinkle with hazelnut flakes and pearl sugar.
  • Bake in preheated oven at 190 degrees Celsius (374 degrees Fahrenheit) for about 15 minutes.
  •  
  • Split the vanilla pod and scrape out the seeds.
  • Put everything into a heavy-based saucepan, including the vanilla pod for extra flavor.
  • Turn the heat to medium-high and stir well to prevent burning.
  • When the cream starts boiling, whisk it rigorously for a couple of minutes while it thickens.
  • Pour the mixture through a sieve into a bowl.
  • Let it cool before use. 
  •  
  • Whip the cream, I usually use an electric mixer for this.
  • When it reaches the desired thickness (for me, it's when I can turn the bowl upside down without it falling out).
  • Grate the marzipan into the cream and fold it gently. 
  • Transfer to a piping bag.
  • Cut the buns in half and pipe the marzipan cream around the edge.
  • Place a dollop of vanilla cream in the center and put the top back on!
