Preparation

Make a well with the flours, add butter at room temperature, sugar, egg and work well. Add the yeast previously melted into warm milk and a pinch of salt. Work well until the dough is even and soft. Leave it to rise until it doubles in size (about 2 hours). Knock it back, divide it into 3 parts, then work it and make a plait with it. Leave it to rise again. When doubled in size, brush it with egg yolk and bake for 30 min at 180°C.

Tips

Before baking your sweet plait, brush it with milk and sprinkle it with sugar.
