Swabian Braid with Ham and Cheese Filling

Instructions

Put flour in a bowl and crumble the yeast, warm milk and dissolve the butter in it, pour on the flour and yeast and knead into a dough until it comes off the edge easily. Let the dough rise until it has doubled.
Mix together all the ingredients for the filling.
