Preparation method
Preparing the yeast dough
Gently heat the whole milk until lukewarm. In a small bowl, dissolve the dry yeast with a teaspoon of sugar and 50 ml of milk, leaving the mixture for 10 minutes to activate.
In a large bowl, sift the white flour and add the pinch of salt, 70 g of sugar, and one packet of vanilla sugar. Add the activated yeast mixture, the remaining lukewarm milk, one whole egg, and the melted, cooled butter.
Knead the dough vigorously for 10-12 minutes until it becomes smooth, elastic, and no longer sticks to your hands. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 50-60 minutes, until doubled in size.
Chef's tip
For extra flavor, soak the raisins for 15 minutes in a little warm lemon juice or rum extract before folding them into the cheese filling.
Make sure the dough ingredients (eggs, milk, and butter) are at room temperature before you start kneading, for optimal rising and an airy crumb.
