Directions

1. 1

   Put the flour in a bowl, mix well with salt and make a depression in the middle. Warm 150 ml milk lukewarm and mix well with yeast and honey. Pour yeast milk into the hollow and mix with some flour from the rim to a thin paste. Cover the pre-dough and let it rise for about 15 minutes

2. 2

   Melt butter and add 100 ml milk. Whisk the egg. Add the fat-milk mixture and egg to the pre-dough and knead to a smooth yeast dough. Cover and leave to rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes

3. 3

   Briefly knead the dough on a lightly floured work surface and cut it into three equal pieces. Form each piece of dough into a roll of approx. 45 cm. Place the rolls of dough next to each other, press them together at one end and braid a braid. Press the ends together again

4. 4

   Leave the plait in a warm place for about 30 minutes. Mix the egg yolk and 1 teaspoon of milk. Spread the plait with it and bake in the preheated oven, 2nd shelf from below (electric oven: 200 °C/ circulating air: 175 °C/ gas: level 3) for approx. 30 minutes.
