Ingredients

Directions

1. 1

   Mix yeast, sugar, milk and 200 ml water. Pour the flour into a bowl and make a depression in the middle. Pour in the yeast and mix with some flour. Leave to rise in a warm place for about 10 minutes.

2. 2

   Work through everything vigorously with the dough hooks of the hand mixer and leave to rise for another 20 minutes. Roll out butter between cling film to a square of 20x20 cm. Roll out the dough to a larger square (approx. 40x40 cm).

3. 3

   Place butter in the middle and fold over the excess dough. Roll out into a narrow rectangle. Place exactly 3 layers on top of each other. Put the dough in a cool place for about 20 minutes. Roll out again and fold over.

4. 4

   Repeat the procedure twice. Chill for about 20 minutes. Stir marzipan and egg until smooth. Roll out 2 rectangles (20x40 cm) from the dough. Cut off 5 strips (1/2 cm each) from each of the short sides.

5. 5

   Place rectangles on 2 baking trays lined with baking paper. Wash the raisins, dab dry. Put marzipan and apple compote in each centre. Place strips of dough on top. Roll up the edges a little. Bake the strips one after the other in a preheated oven (electric: 175 °C/ gas: level 2) for about 30 minutes.

6. 6

   Let it cool down. Mix icing sugar and 1-2 tablespoons of lukewarm water. Decorate the Danish pastry strips with icing and nuts.
