It reminds us of good childhood memories. Recipe # Preparation 35 minutes For 6 people Cooking 180°C For 45 minutes Minimum resting time 3 hours Ingredians # 15 g baker’s yeast 300 g flour 170 g butter salt 10 cl milk 1 tablespoon powdered sugar 3 eggs Preparation # Dissolve the yeast in the warm milk. Sift the flour into a large bowl and add the powdered sugar and salt. Mix. Melt 150 g butter. Gradually pour into the bowl. Put the eggs one by one and add the milk and yeast mixture. Mix. Knead for about 15 minutes (you can use a food processor). Form the dough into a ball. Cover it with a damp cloth. Leave the dough to rest for about 1 hour. Knead the dough again for at least 15 minutes. Cut the dough into 3 pieces, make 3 threads and braid. Leave the dough until it doubles in volume. Butter your dish. Place the braid in the dish. Bake at 180°C for 30 minutes. If it is too golden, put a foil, to plunge it back in the oven for 15 minutes. Tips # When it rests, put it in a warm place (it will swell better).
