Instructions

1. Mix the flour, yeast, sugar and salt together. If you use fresh yeast, it crumbles beforehand in lukewarm water.
2. Finely crumble the sheep`s cheese with your hands. Then knead a teaspoon of rosemary and the sheep`s cheese into the dough. Add water and olive oil and work into a dough. Dust the dough with flour and cover and let rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes until it has enlarged significantly.
3. Then knead briefly on the work surface and shape into a roll. Divide this into a total of 8 equal parts. Shape each slice into a roll (about 28 cm long). This should be a little thicker in the middle than at the ends. Form a braid out of each roll by folding the two ends around each other twice. Place braids on the prepared baking sheet. Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place until it has visibly enlarged (15-20 minutes).
4. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Brush the braids with water and sprinkle with the rest of the rosemary. Bake at about 180-200 degrees for about 20 minutes.
