Mix the water, yeast, and salt thoroughly and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Knead once on a floured board. Cut the dough into 5 pieces, shape them into strands about 60 cm long. Mix the sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle them on the board, then roll the strands in the sugar. Braid the dough into a plait. Place it on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Brush with milk and sprinkle with the remaining sugar. Place in the oven and let it rest for another 15 minutes. Then preheat the oven to 160°C (fan oven) and bake for about 35 minutes.
