Preparation time 

1. Crumble the yeast in a bowl. Heat the milk so that it is finger-warm, about 37 °. Pour the milk over the yeast and stir so that the yeast dissolves. Add the butter, eggs, sugar, salt and most of the flour. Work together into a smudge-free dough.  Rise under a baking sheet for 30 min.

2. Meanwhile, make the filling. Mix almond paste, margarine or butter, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger and cloves in a bowl. Line muffin tins with cupcake liners .

3. Take the dough on a floured baking sheet and work it slightly. Divide the dough into 2 parts and roll out each into a rectangular plate measuring 50x35 cm. Spread half of the filling on top of one cake and roll it up into a roll cake.

4. Cut the roll cake into 20 evenly sized pieces and place them in muffin lined muffin tins. Do the same with the other plate. Let the buns ferment under a baking sheet for about 30 minutes.

5. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Bake the buns in the middle of the oven at 225 ° for about 8 minutes .
