YEAST PLAIT
For the dough:
– 500 g flour
– 20 g of fresh yeast or 7 g of dry yeast
– 200 ml lukewarm milk
– 40 g sugar
– salt
– 5 egg yolks
– 200 g softened butter
For the filling:
– 180 g chopped walnuts
– 20 g breadcrumbs
– 1 teaspoon ground ginger
– 50 ml milk
– 60 g honey
– 30 g melted butter
– 20 ml rum
– 1 egg yolk
– A little milk
– 50 g flaked almonds
Sieve the flour into a mixing bowl, make a hollow in the centre. Cut up
the yeast, place it in the hollow with the milk and a little of the sugar
and stir in the flour from around the edge, sprinkle with flour, leave to
rise in a warm place until the flour sprinkled on the mixture is showing
cracks.
Add the rest of the sugar. Knead all ingredients into a workable yeast
dough. Leave the dough to rise in a warm place until it is about double
the size.
For the filling, mix all ingredients together. Divide the dough into three
equal parts and roll out into long rectangles. Spread a third of the fill-
ing onto each rectangle and then roll the pieces of dough together.
Make a plait out of the three pieces of dough. Coat the surface of the
plait with a mixture of egg yolk and milk and then sprinkle with flaked
almonds.
