1. Warm up some milk and sugar slightly and dissolve the yeast in them.
2. Make a well in the flour and pour the yeast mixture into it. Dust with a little flour from the edge. Cover and let rise in a warm place for approx. 5 minutes. Roughly dice the butter. Add the rest of the milk, eggs, lemon zest and salt to the pre-dough and knead everything with the dough hook of the hand mixer to form a smooth dough. Cover the batter in a warm place. Let rise for about 30 minutes.
3. Drain the cherries.
4. Roll out the dough on a floured work surface into a rectangle of approx. 54 x 20 cm. Cut the dough rectangle crosswise into 3 parts. Spread the poppy seed mixture on top and smooth it out. Spread the cherries on top and roll them up individually on the long side. Cut the 3 parts lengthways and braid them into a braid.
5. Place on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Cover and let rise for approx. 30 minutes. Bake in the preheated oven at 175 ° C for approx. 50 minutes.
