Ruggele – Oriental

Ingredients for 1 servings:

• 200 g cream cheese
• 200 g butter (important)
• 300 g flour
• 50 g sugar, white
• 50 g brown cane sugar (regular brown sugar works too)
• 50 g sesame seeds
• 120 g marzipan – raw mass
• 5 figs

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Rest time approx. 1 hour; Total time approx. 1 hour 30 minutes

approx. 48 pieces

Mix flour, butter, and cream cheese into a smooth, pliable dough. Chill slightly. Then divide the dough into 4 equal pieces and shape each into a ball. Chop the 5-6 figs, removing the stems. Chop the 120g of marzipan and knead it with the figs. Form it into 48 small sausages. Mix the white and brown sugar with the sesame seeds and place it on a work surface. Roll out a ball (do not turn it over) to a diameter of approximately 26 cm. Cut this dough sheet into approximately 12 large “cake slices.” Place one of the marzipan/fig sausages on the wide side of each “cake slice,” roll it up like a mini croissant, and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at approximately 175°C for about 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
