Apple and marzipan flower bead


In Estonian

This bread is very easy.
Light yeast dough, apples, farine sugar and marzipan. The bread is not sweet and marzipan-apple filling has strong flavorful taste. 
It is easy to prepare this bread, it is tasty and looks very festive.

Ingredients:
25 g yeast
250 ml milk
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp cardamom
ca 500 g wheat flour
100 ml vegetable oil
1 bigger apple
1 tbsp farine sugar
120 g marzipan
100 g butter

Mix yeast with sugar and add milk (in room temperature), salt and cardamom.
Add flour, oil and knead into dough. Dough should be soft. Let it raise for 1- 1,5 hour or until the dough is double size. 

Clean and chop the apple to 1x1 cm pieces. Mix apple pieces with farine sugar and let it stay until the dough is raising.

Roll the raised dough until the thickness about 1 cm and cut from dough rings with diameter 6-7 cm (you can use glass for cutting). Put into middle of each ring 1 apple piece and piece of marzipan. Lift the one edge from the ring to another edge and press the edges tightly for closing. Connect the corners. The ready piece should look like Chinese fortune cookie.
Put ready pieces (even edges next to the cake tin edge) to the cake tin (diameter ca 20 cm) starting from exterior edge. 
Fill the ring and start with new one until you fill all the tin. Add small butter pieces between the bread pieces. Let the ready bread raise for 30 minutes and bake in oven for 30 minutes at 200 C
Between baking take the bread out of oven and spread melted butter over the bread, this way you will get nice gold brown  crust to the bread. Make same when bread is baked and you take it out from the oven.
Let the bread cool down after baking and cover with powdered sugar.
