Low-fat yeast plait with stevia

Ingredients for 1 servings:

• 300 g flour
• 1 packet of dry yeast
• 2 packets of vanilla sugar
• 1 pinch of salt
• 150 ml milk, lukewarm
• 2 medium-sized egg yolks

Instructions

Working time approx. 25 minutes; Rest time approx. 1 hour; Cooking/baking time approx. 25 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 50 minutes

without raisins, almost sugar-free

Mix flour, dry yeast, a pinch of salt, and vanilla sugar in a bowl. In a second bowl, whisk together milk, 2 egg yolks, stevia, vanilla seeds or flavoring, and lemon juice. Add this mixture to the first bowl with the dry ingredients and knead into a dough using the dough hook of a hand mixer or food processor. Add the melted butter to the dough and knead until you have an elastic dough that no longer sticks to the bowl. Cover the yeast dough and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes. The dough should roughly double in size. I usually preheat my oven to 40 degrees Celsius, turn it off, and let the dough rise in the switched-off oven. Knead the risen dough briefly again and divide it into 3 portions. Shape the 3 portions into strands approximately 4 cm in diameter and braid them. The ends can be easily tucked under the braided braid. Place the plaited loaf on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes. Whisk an egg and brush the yeast plait with it. If you prefer a sweet glaze, add 30-40g of powdered sugar to the egg mixture. Bake on the middle rack of a preheated oven at 180°C (convection oven) for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
