Ingredients and preparation
Preheat the oven to 200° C with both top and bottom heat.
Preparation: Melt 50 g of margarine. Pour 340 ml of milk and heat (35° C). Crumble 20 g of yeast into the liquid, sprinkle with 1 tsp of sugar and let it rest until the yeast melts and becomes active. Then add 1 tsp salt and 500 g flour and knead until the dough separates from the edge of the bowl. Let the dough rest for at least 10 minutes. Divide into three (or four or five) strands and let strands relax repeatedly so that the surface does not crack. Braid into a plait and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume. Brush with beaten egg yolk, sprinkle with hail sugar or almond flakes and bake in a preheated oven at 200° C for about 20 minutes.
