## Steps

1. Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat until fully melted. (2 min)
2. In a bowl, dissolve the yeast in the milk, then add the melted butter, egg, sugar, cardamom, salt and half of the flour. (3 min)
3. Mix well until combined, then add the remaining flour. (2 min)
4. Knead the dough with a mixer for 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. (5 min)
5. Cover the dough and let it rise in the bowl for 1 hour at room temperature. (60 min)
6. Meanwhile, mix the filling of marzipan, butter, sugar and cinnamon until smooth. (2 min)
7. Weigh the dough and divide it into four equal parts. (2 min)
8. Shape each part into a ball and let them rest briefly on the counter. (5 min)
9. Roll out each ball separately into a 24 cm circle.
10. Place one circle on a baking tray lined with parchment and spread a third of the filling over the whole circle, leaving 1 cm bare at the edge.
11. Place the next circle on top, spread with filling leaving 1 cm bare at the edge, and repeat until all four circles of dough and the filling are used. (5 min)
12. Do not put filling on the last layer of dough.
13. Place a glass in the centre of the dough and use a knife to cut from the edge of the glass to the edge of the circle, dividing the dough into 16 parts, like slicing a cake.
14. Take two neighbouring strips at a time and twist them in opposite directions, twisting twice, all the way round. (3 min)
15. Remove the glass from the centre. (1 min)
16. Let the dough rise under a tea towel for 30 minutes. (30 min)
17. Brush with beaten egg and bake in a preheated fan oven at 175°C for 17-20 minutes. (19 min)
18. Let the bread cool.
19. Before serving, dust with icing sugar. (1 min)
