FAQ:

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes! You can prepare the dough the day before, refrigerate it overnight, and shape and bake it the next day.

Can I use a different flour?

While this recipe is best with all-purpose flour, you can try a gluten-free flour blend if needed, but the texture may differ slightly.

Can I use store-bought marzipan instead of the nut filling?

Absolutely! Marzipan would add a lovely almond flavor and richness, making for a sweet variation of this traditional recipe.
