Method

• step 1

  Melt the butter by stirring into the warm milk then pour this mix over the crumbled yeast in a large bowl. Add the sugar and salt and then mix in the flour until it comes together as a dough. Knead for 5 minutes until smooth, then leave it to rise for 40 minutes.

• step 2

  To make the filling, mix the marzipan with the sugar in a food processor or mixer until the sugar is incorporated. Add the butter on low speed until it is all mixed together.

• step 3

  Lightly flour the worksurface then roll the dough out to a square approximately 20cm x 20cm. Dot the filling over the dough evenly then spread all over. Sprinkle the cinnamon on top.

• step 4

  Roll the dough up like a swiss roll until all the filling is enclosed. Cut into 6 pieces with a very sharp knife.

• step 5

  Put the buns cut-side up on a large baking sheet. Cover with a loose sheet of clingfilm and leave for another 40 minutes.

• step 6

  Heat the oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Just before baking gently press down on each bun to flatten them a little. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden and puffed.

• step 7

  Melt the dark chocolate over a pan of simmering water or in short blasts in the microwave. Let the buns cool before drizzling with the dark chocolate to finish.
