Instructions

  1. Knead all the ingredients except the cocoa powder and 3 tablespoon milk to make a smooth dough. Halve the dough and color one half brown with cocoa powder and 3 tablespoons of milk.
  2. Shape the dough halves into 6 white and 6 brown balls. Shape the brown dough into long strands that are as long as the baking pan and each strand is covered with a white “coat”.
  3. Place the wrapped strands in a buttered baking pan, not so close together, in two or more layers, depending on the width of the pan. Let rise for about 30 minutes.
  4. Whisk the egg with a little milk, brush the dough with it and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
  5. Bake at 180 degrees for about 45 minutes, until the cake is golden brown.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
