This buttery yeast bread is a German Christmas classic. Studded with 
rum-spiked dried fruit and filled with homemade marzipan, meet your 
new holiday addiction.

Makes: 2 loaves

In a medium bowl, toss together apricots, cherries, raisins, and rum. 
Cover and let stand for 12 hours.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment, 
combine 3/4 cup warm water, 1 tablespoon (12 g) granulated sugar, and 
yeast. Let stand until mixture is foamy, about 10 minutes. With mixer 
on medium speed, beat in egg, vanilla bean seeds, zest, and remaining 
3 tablespoons (36 g) granulated sugar. In a medium bowl, whisk 
together flour, salt, nutmeg, and ginger. With mixer on low speed, 
gradually add flour mixture. Add butter, 1 tablespoon (15 g) at a 
time, beating until a smooth dough forms, 5 to 8 minutes.

Spray a large bowl with cooking spray. Place dough in bowl, turning 
to grease top. Let stand in a warm, draft-free place (75F) until 
doubled in size, 1 to 2 hours.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead fruit mixture 
and almonds into dough, discarding any remaining liquid. Cover and 
let stand for 10 minutes. Divide dough in half. Pat one half of dough 
into an 8x8" square. Divide Marzipan in half, and shape each into an 
8x1" cylinder. Place one cylinder of Marzipan at one end of dough 
square, and roll up. Pinch ends under, and place on prepared pan. 
Repeat with remaining dough and Marzipan. Cover and let stand until 
puffed, 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 350F.

Bake until golden brown and a wooden pick inserted in center comes 
out clean, 35 to 40 minutes, covering with foil halfway through 
baking to prevent excess browning, if necessary. Brush loaves with 
melted butter, and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. Store loaves 
wrapped tightly in plastic wrap at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Marzipan

Makes about 1 cup

1 1/2 cups (216 g) almond flour

1 1/2 cups (183 g) confectioners' sugar

1 egg white

2 teaspoons (10 g) rosewater

2 teaspoons (10 g) almond extract

In the work bowl of a food processor, combine almond flour and 
confectioners' sugar; pulse until combined. Add egg white, rosewater, 
and almond extract. Process until mixture holds together. If mixture 
is too dry, add a bit of water, 1 teaspoon at a time. Store Marzipan 
wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerated for up to 1 month.
