Instructions

  1. Put the flour in a bowl, make a well in the middle and mix the crumbled yeast with a little lukewarm milk to make a pre-dough. Let rise for about half an hour.
  2. Now knead together with the other ingredients into a smooth dough and let rise for about 1 hour.
  3. Divide the dough into 3 or 4 parts, make a plait, let rise for another 10 minutes, then brush with egg yolk.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven at 200 ° for 30-40 minutes.
  5. Possibly apply a powdered sugar glaze to the still warm braid.
  6. My tip: instead of raisins and nuts, knead in whole aniseed

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.
