• Once yeast is foamy (proofed); mix in eggs, salt, Oil and Vanilla extract.
• Next mix in the Instant Vanilla Pudding powder, now gradually add flour to the mixture until well combined and a soft dough forms.
• Take dough out of the bowl, knead on a clean surface to smooth if necessary. Place back into bowl and rise for 1 hour in a warm place or until doubled.
• Once doubled in size; sprinkle some mazapan crumbles on a flat clean surface, remove dough from bowl, place on top of the Mazapan crumples and roll into large rectangle, about 1/2 " thick.
• Spread Butter over the entire rolled out dough.
• Next sprinkle on the Vanilla Maizena powder onto the top of the butter evenly, then sprinkle on the remaining Mazapan pieces.
• Gently roll it up starting from the long edge, pinch the seam closed tightly.
• Place your rolls on prepared baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cover with tea towel and let them rise about 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile preheat your oven to 350°F.
• Bake at 350°F for 13 - 15 minutes. Remove when they start to turn golden.
• Remove them from the oven. If you’re frosting them, let them cool fully before topping them. If you’re not topping them, brush them with melted butter while still warm.
