Coarsely grate 200 g marzipan, put it in the blender in portions and work everything well into a homogenous mass. Mix in 5 tablespoons of rose water and 1 egg. Roll out the dough rectangularly (45 x 30 cm) on a work surface dusted with flour. Spread the marzipan mixture evenly on the dough, press down with your fingers. Roll up from the long side.
