I followed it to the letter... as best I could (scatty) and subbing some ingredients.
So- the dough was correct, but the first yeast I used was out of date so when it failed it's first rise I added another 7g from a fresh packet. At that point I didn't have time to repeat the first rise so I went straight on to the next step- adding the other ingredients- and left it for its next rise.
So 'other ingredients'-
home made orange peel, not commercial,
cranberries instead of raisins,
No alcohol, used orange juice.
Lemon flavouring as I am out of vanilla
Accidentally added two teaspoons of ground cardamom, instead of the seeds from 8 pods or whatever he says.
Marzipan- I used one Lidl chocolate coated bar, however big that is, minus about an 1/8 that I ate while I waited for it to rise! It could have used more, to be honest.
That made a massive loaf. Much bigger than I expected! Tiger loaf/bloomer sized.
It happily took the extra cardamom with no complaints! The rest was as written.
If you want bites, you'd have to cut the marzipan into chunks, and make little dough balls I guess. Or perhaps make it like a focaccia.
It's a lovely soft, springy texture when it's cooked. Like a brioche.
As I mentioned before, get the dried fruit in the middle- maybe like a Swiss roll, rather than mixed throughout the dough.
