    Put the flour in a bowl, make a depression in the middle and crumble the yeast. Heat the milk and add it together with 25 g sugar to the yeast. Mix it with some flour from the edge to a thick mash and let it rise covered in a warm place for about 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Melt 200 g butter, remove from heat, let it cool lukewarm.

  3. 3

  4. 4

    Mix 50 g sugar, salt, speculoose-spice and vanillin sugar. Pour melted butter into the mixing bowl to make a yeast mixture. Knead with the dough hooks of the hand mixer to a smooth dough.

  5. 5

    Let the sugar-spice mixture trickle into the dough at the edge of the bowl and knead it in. Cover and leave to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour.

    Knead the almond mixture with well floured hands into the dough. Form the dough into a thick strand so that the strand fits into a greased springform pan with a tube bottom insert (26 cm Ø; approx. 2.8 litres capacity), place it in the pan.

    If necessary, cover with foil during the last 15 minutes of the baking time.
