Instructions

1. Stir yeast with some of the milk and some of the sugar in a tall mug. Let stand 10-15 minutes until foamy.
2. Add flour to a large bowl. Add the remaining milk, remaining sugar, butter, egg yolks, salt, and lemon zest. Add the yeast mixture and knead into a smooth dough. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 45 minutes.
3. Grease a wreath-shaped pan generously. Tear off 10-12 pieces of dough. Press 1 teaspoon of jam into the center of each piece and seal the dough around it. Roll each dough ball in melted butter and arrange them side by side in the pan. Let rise 15 minutes.
4. Preheat oven to 170°C (338°F). Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden. Let cool completely, then sprinkle with powdered sugar or lemon glaze.
5. Serve fresh for the best taste.
