Melt the butter and let it cool. Blend the candied lemon peel until finely ground in a blender or with a hand blender. Make a yeast dough from the ingredients and let it rise until doubled in size. Punch the dough down again briefly and divide it into 16 equal pieces. Form these pieces into balls and let them rise for another 15 minutes. In the meantime, preheat the oven to 180°C (top/bottom heat) and lightly grease a loaf pan. Place 8 balls (close together) in the bottom of the loaf pan. Cut crosswise into the remaining balls with clean scissors and place them in the loaf pan. Bake for about 55 minutes; cover with aluminum foil after 30 minutes.
