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.
Now knead together with the other ingredients into a smooth dough and let rise for about 1 hour.
Divide the dough into 3 or 4 parts, make a plait, let rise for another 10 minutes, then brush with egg yolk.
Bake in the preheated oven at 200 ° for 30-40 minutes.
Possibly apply a powdered sugar glaze to the still warm braid.
My tip: instead of raisins and nuts, knead in whole aniseed
