Ingredients for 1 servings:

• 40 g sugar
• 5 eggs
• 400 g flour
• 1 packet of dry yeast
• 12 g salt
• 200 g butter, cold
• 150 g nut nougat cream, e.g. Nutella
• 1 egg(s) for brushing

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Rest time approx. 4 hours; Cooking/baking time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 4 hours 50 minutes

Mix the flour, sugar, eggs, and yeast, then add the salt. Knead all ingredients until you have a smooth, non-sticky dough. Cut the butter into cubes and knead it completely into the dough. Place the dough in a lightly floured bowl, sprinkle with a little flour, and let it rise in the refrigerator for two hours. Knead the risen dough for about five minutes and then roll it out into a square. Spread the nougat cream on the dough with a spatula. Roll the dough up longwise and cut it lengthwise with a sharp knife. Braid the two strands and place them in a buttered 26cm springform pan. Cover the plait with a kitchen towel and let it rise for two hours in a warm place. Then brush with a briefly beaten egg. Bake on the middle rack of an oven preheated to 180°C (top/bottom heat) for about 20 minutes.
