very simple, also good as a nut, cinnamon or poppy seed braid

Sift the flour into a large bowl. Gently warm the plant-based milk (e.g., soy milk) and dissolve the yeast in it with a pinch of sugar. Add the yeast mixture to the flour and knead with the salt. Then knead in the margarine. This will be a rather mushy process, but don’t let that discourage you. Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for half an hour. Then place the dough on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. To keep the dough nice and airy, don’t knead it any further. Grease a second sheet of baking paper, place it over the dough, and roll it out in the same way. Carefully peel off the paper. Trim the dough and braid it. Brush with a little plant-based milk. Let it rise for another 20 minutes, then bake at 180°C (top/bottom heat) until the dough is lightly browned, depending on your taste. If you want to fill the braid, boil your filling with a little milk and sugar (e.g., 200 g nuts with 100 ml milk and 100 g sugar). A pinch of cinnamon makes it even better! Pour it onto the dough before braiding and continue processing as usual.
