Preparation Method Steps:

For the Dough: 1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. 2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm milk and softened butter. 3. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. 4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. 5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

For the Butter Filling: 1. In a small bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. 2. Stir in the vanilla extract.

For the Marzipan Filling: 1. In a small bowl, combine the marzipan, milk, and almond extract. Stir until smooth.

Assembly: 1. Punch down the risen dough and divide it into two equal pieces. 2. Roll out each piece of dough into a large rectangle, approximately 12x18 inches. 3. Spread the butter filling evenly over one rectangle of dough. 4. Spread the marzipan filling evenly over the other rectangle of dough. 5. Roll up the dough rectangles tightly, starting from one long edge. 6. Place the rolled doughs on a parchment-lined baking sheet. 7. Cut 12-16 diagonal slits in the top of each roll, being careful not to cut all the way through. 8. Cover the rolls with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 45 minutes, or until nearly doubled in size. 9. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). 10. Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.

For the Glaze: 1. In a small bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar and milk until smooth. 2. Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls.
