Ingredients

Servings: 8
  • 125 ml Milk
  • 325 g Flour
  • 1/2 cube Yeast
  • 40 g soft butter
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 50 g Sugar
  • 16 Raisins
  • 1 Egg yolk (size M)

Directions

  1. 1

    Warm milk lukewarm, dissolve yeast in it. Sift the flour into a bowl and make a depression in the middle. Pour in the yeast milk and mix with some flour from the rim to a pre-dough. Cover and leave to rise in a warm place for about 15 minutes. Add butter, salt and sugar to the pre-dough and work into a smooth dough.

  2. 2

    Cover the dough and let it rise for about 30 minutes. Knead the dough again well, form it into a long roll and cut it into 8 equal pieces (approx. 70 g each). Roll the dough pieces and form knots. Form a beak from one side of the knot half. For the eyes press in raisins. The other end is cut 3-4 times as a tail. Mix egg yolk and water and brush the chicks with it. Place on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Bake in a preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ convection oven: 175 °C/ gas: level 3) for 15-20 minutes.
