Ingredients

Servings: 20
  • 200 ml Milk
  • 150 g Sugar
  • 500 g Flour
  • 1 cube (42 g) Yeast
  • 150 g Butter or margarine
  • 2 packages Vanillin sugar
  • 2 Egg yolk (size M)
  • 7-10 Tbsp Salt
  • 20 g Raisins
  • 35 g Almonds
  • 7-10 Tbsp Grease

Directions

  1. 1

    Heat 50 ml of milk. Stir in 20 g sugar, 25 g flour and the yeast. Let the pre-dough rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes. Mix 110 g fat, 90 g sugar, 1 packet vanilla sugar and egg yolk until creamy with the whisks of the hand mixer.

  2. 2

    Add remaining flour, pre-dough, salt and remaining milk and knead. Add raisins and almonds and knead again. Divide the dough into three. Shape each third into a 60 cm long roll. Weave the rolls into a plait and form it into a wreath on a greased baking tray.

  3. 3

    Leave in a warm place for another 30 minutes. In the meantime, melt remaining fat for the icing, stir in remaining sugar and vanillin sugar. Spread the icing over the braid. Bake in the preheated oven (electric: 175 °C/ gas: level 2) for 35-40 minutes.
