Simple yeast braid: The classic for Easter

The yeast braid is a very common pastry for Easter and can be eaten with many different spreads.

For a yeast plait you need:

250 milliliters of milk, 65 grams of sugar, 375 grams of flour, half a cube of yeast, 50 grams of butter, 1 egg, and a pinch of salt.

You also need some milk to coat the braid and some granulated sugar for sprinkling.

  1. First, warm the milk. Then place the flour in a large bowl and make a small indentation in the center of the flour.
  2. Now crumble the yeast into the well and mix the yeast with some sugar and 3 tablespoons of milk. Let this rise be covered for about 15 minutes.
  3. Then knead the remaining milk with the egg, flour, sugar, and salt for about five minutes. Then gradually add the butter and continue to knead the dough until it is uniform and smooth. Then let the dough rise for about an hour.
  4. Then divide the dough into three equal parts and let them rise again for ten minutes. Then flour your work surface and form a roll of dough about 40 centimeters long from each piece of dough.
  5. You can now braid your yeast braid from these rolls. This must then be placed on a baking tray lined with baking paper and left to rise for another 40 minutes.
  6. In the meantime, preheat the oven to 180°C for a fan oven. Coat the plait with a little flour and sprinkle with granulated sugar before baking in the oven for about 15 minutes until golden brown.
