Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup evaporated milk
  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 1/3 cup canola oil
  • 1/2 (4 ounce) package marzipan, cut into small pieces
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour, or as needed
  • 1/2 teaspoon canola oil
  • Topping:
  • 2/3 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1/2 (4 ounce) package marzipan, cut into very small pieces
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

Directions

  1. 1
    Combine milk, evaporated milk, sugar, 1/3 cup canola oil, marzipan, and salt in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 50 seconds. Mix in egg, then yeast. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
  2. 2
    Add 3 cups flour and mix well. Add enough of the remaining flour to bring dough together. Knead dough in the bowl until pliable, 5 to 6 minutes. Move dough to one side and grease bowl with 1/2 teaspoon oil. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and set aside until dough doubles in size, about 1 hour.
  3. 3
    Meanwhile, make topping. Combine sugar and butter in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on low speed for 1 minute. Increase speed to high and continue beating. Add marzipan, almond extract, and salt; beat until creamy. Add flour and beat until combined and pliable. Cover bowl and set aside.
  4. 4
    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
  5. 5
    Cut dough into 20 pieces. Shape into semi-flat rolls. Arrange them in the baking pan.
  6. 6
    Cut topping mixture into 20 equal pieces. Place each piece between 2 sheets of parchment paper and press into a 2-inch circle. Place 1 circle over each roll. Use a butter knife to score the tops in a decorative pattern.
  7. 7
    Cover baking pan with plastic wrap. Let rise until doubled, 45 to 55 minutes.
  8. 8
    Bake in the preheated oven until puffed and golden, about 18 minutes.
