    I think today’s bake is enough for at least one complete soccer team – probably even more. It’s a delicious yeast wreath with marzipan and poppy seeds. Sounds good? Coffee anybody? ;)

    Some of you probably know – Andrea from “Zimtkeks & Apfeltarte” and myself do this monthly thing where we choose a topic and bake something together (even though we live far from each other) – it is called “Bake together – The Baking Surprise”. Why? Well we bake “together” but the result is always a “surprise” :P Just kidding – there is a bit more behind this whole thing – if you want to know more, check this link here.

    So the first topic this year is yeast dough – you probably guessed that already. There are countless recipes with a yeast dough, so I do not expect a match this time – but who knows. We made so many times similar recipes at the same time – anything is possible!

    Anyways. My bake today is a delicious yeast wreath with marzipan and poppy seeds. One of my favorite combinations for yeast loaves or brioche. It’s so good! If you are looking for a delicious and equally stunning bake for Easter for example – this is what you want to make :smile: You will make everybody happy. I promise. Well except the ones that hate poppy seeds. In that case I recommend to make a second one with a nut filling – also delicious. The filling from this recipe should work here as well.

    Oh and for those who are afraid of yeast dough – calm down! It’s not as difficult (or bitchy) as some people say. Just relax. I mean what can happen? The dough is not rising properly. Well – give it some more time and in most cases you will get a good result after all. Sometimes the yeast is not working well, cause it is too old. Not much you can do about that but accept the path destiny chose for you… and make a new dough with fresh yeast :P

    That’s all. Keep calm and wait another 30 minutes :P
    Anyways – as soon as Andrea is posting her recipe, I will post it here, so you can see if it’s a match or not this time.

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch
    1. Crumble the fresh yeast and add together with one tablespoon of the sugar to the lukewarm milk and mix until dissolved.

    2. Add the flour and remaining sugar, salt and lemon zest to a large bowl and mix. Add the yeast milk mixture, egg and butter to the bowl and knead for about 4-5 minutes. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place for about 35-40 minutes.

    3. While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. Grate the marzipan (works best, when you freeze the marzipan for an hour before working with it). Melt the butter in a small pot. add sugar, poppy seeds and marzipan and mix until well combined. Set aside to cool down a bit.

    4. Place the dough on a floured surface and knead once more for some time. Roll out to a rectangle of 20×12 inch (50×30). Spread the marzipan mixture on top, but leave about 0.4 inch (1cm) free of the filling at the edges. Roll up the dough, beginning on one of the long sides. Cut the dough in half lenghtwise with a sharp knife to get two long ropes (you can see the layers of filling), twist them and form a wreath. Place on a baking sheet lined with baking parchment. Mix the egg yolk with milk and brush the wreath with the mixture, sprinkle with slivered almonds and let rise another 20-25 minutes.

    5. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the wreath in the bottom section of the oven for about 45-50 minutes. Check after 30 minutes and cover with some aluminum foil if the wreath gets too dark. Take out of the oven and let cool down completely on a wire rack. Sprinkle with some sugar glaze if you like.

    1. Die Hefe zerbröckeln und zusammen mit einem Eßlöffel des Zuckers zur lauwarmen Milch zugeben und verrühren.

    2. Das Mehl mit dem restlichen Zucker, Salz und Abrieb der Zitrone in einer großen Schüssel verrühren. Die Hefemilch mit dem Ei und der weichen Butter zur Schüssel dazugeben und alles für 4-5 Minuten verkneten. Den Teig abdecken und an einem warmen Ort etwa 35-40 Minuten gehen lassen.

    3. Während der Teig geht, die Füllung vorbereiten. Dazu das Marzipan raspeln (wenn man es vorher für eine Stunde einfriert, lässt es sich leichter verarbeiten). Die Butter in einem Topf schmelzen und dann mit dem Mohn, Zucker und dem geraspelten Marzipan verrühren – zur Seite stellen und etwas abkühlen lassen.

    4. Den gegangenen Teig noch einmal gründlich durchkneten und dann auf einer bemehlten Fläche zu einem Rechteck mit 50x30cm (20×12 inch) ausrollen. Die Marzipan-Mohn Masse auf dem Teig verteilen und dabei einen etwa 1 cm (0.4 inch) breiten Rand frei lassen. Den Teig von der langen Seite aus aufrollen, mit einem scharfen Messer längs aufschneiden und die beiden Stränge übereinanderschlagen, verdrehen und zu einem Kranz formen. Den Kranz auf ein Blech mit Backpapier legen. Das Eigelb mit der Milch verrühren und damit den Kranz bestreichen, mit den Mandelblättchen bestreuen und dann noch einmal 20-25 Minuten gehen lassen.

    5. Den Ofen auf 175°C (350°F) vorheizen. Den Kranz auf der unteren Schiene etwa 45-50 Minuten backen. Nach 30 Minuten checken und ggf. mit etwas Alufolie abdecken, damit der Kranz nicht zu dunkel wird. Aus dem Ofen nehmen und auf einem Kuchengitter komplett abkühlen lassen. Wer möchte, kann den Kranz noch mit einer Puderzuckerglasur verzieren.

    Hi, my name is Marc. I’m a graphic designer.
    I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake – for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers – and it seems they like it most of the time. ;)
