Ingredients

Directions

1. 1

   Separate the eggs for the dough. Put fat, icing sugar, flour, cocoa, 1 egg yolk and salt in a mixing bowl. Mix with the dough hooks of the hand mixer. Then work into a smooth dough with cool hands.

2. 2

   Wrap in foil and chill for about 30 minutes. In the meantime grind the pistachios finely. Halve the dough. Roll out between 2 layers of foil to plates (approx. 15 x 20 cm). Knead the marzipan and prepare as well.

3. 3

   Spread the dough plates with egg white. Place marzipan plate on top. Brush again with egg white and sprinkle with half of the ground pistachios. Wrap it firmly into a roll with the help of the foil. Put in a cool place for about 2 hours.

4. 4

   Then brush with the remaining egg yolk. Mix remaining pistachios and sugar. Roll the roll in it. Cut into thin slices and place on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ gas: level 3) for about 12 minutes.

5. 5

   Results in about 17 pieces per roll.
