Test yeast by adding 1 tsp of sugar. Add '00 flour, egg, salt, and sugar to yeast and mix with bread/dough beaters. Mix for four minutes on slow and then eight to ten minutes on fast. Shape dough into a ball and place in a bowl. Cover the bowl and put bowl into refrigerator for 24 hours. Filling: Mix marzipan, sugar, and butter (1 cube at a time).

"🥐 Brauð & Co. is an awesome bakeshop in Reykjavik. 👉 It's the perfect spot to pick up a grab-and-go breakfast or car snacks. 🍞 And if you're self-catering, their breads are amazing for toast and sandwiches. 😋 Spoiler Alert! Everything from their cookies, croissants, and muffins are delicious! But if you want to try something Icelandic, go for: ❤️ Hjónabandssæla - Happy Marriage Cake: This cake is made with homemade rhubarb jam and topped with buttery, crumbly oats. It's one of the best things to eat in Iceland. 🐌 Snúður: These swirled pastries, called “snails,” are popular throughout Scandinavia. The ones at Brauð & Co. are some of the best around! 😋 Available in delicious flavours like cinnamon, caramel & muesli, and cardamom. 😊 Vínarbrauð: A long and flaky pastry with jam or custard in the middle, dusted with sugar and almond slices or a drizzle of icing. HOURS: 6:30 am - 5 pm"
"Brauð & Co is a cute little bakery selling croissants, cheese twists, and other baked goods, but the real star of the show is the cinnamon rolls. Grab one (or two) and enjoy them on one of the benches outside the storefront. Also a great spot for people watching! "
