juicy and easy to make

Dissolve the yeast and 10g of sugar in milk. Let it swell for 15 minutes. Knead with 60g of sugar, butter, eggs, and flour. Let it rest for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 180°C. Roll out into a rectangle, mix the nuts, crème fraîche, rum, and 80g of sugar, and spread it on the dough. Roll the dough tightly. Cut the roll in half lengthwise using a sharp knife or scissors. Twist the halves together, cut sides up, to form a cord. Line a baking tray with baking paper and place the plaited loaf on it. Brush with the egg-milk mixture, and bake for 35-40 minutes. Cover with icing sugar or just sprinkle with powdered sugar.
