Ingredients :

​

42 g yeast
1 cup warm milk
75 g sugar
600 g flour
150 g melted margarine
1 egg
1 pinch salt
milk for sprinkling
1/4 cup almonds

​

Method :

​

Dissolve yeast in the warm milk, add some sugar, and leave the dough until bubbles appear on its surface. Put the rest of the ingredients into a big bowl, pour the milk&yeast mixture in, and mix well till the dough is smooth (~10 min). Put the bowl in a warm place, and let it stay there till its volume at least doubles. At this point the dough requires intensive kneading. After that, let it rest for about 20 min.
Separate the dough into 3 equal pieces and form them as long rolls. Make a braid out of them. Put the braid onto a greased cook pan. Sprinkle with some milk, and scatter with almonds.
