Recipe taken from a common culinary blog.

Ingredients

Sugar - 1 tablespoon
Chicken Egg - 1 piece
Salt - 0.2 oz
Milk - 4 fl oz
Butter - 1.1 oz
Dry yeast - 0.5 oz
Wheat Flour - 10.6 oz
Vanilla salt - 1 tablespoon

Step by Step guide

Step 1

For the dough, prepare the starter. In a bowl, mix the yeast, warm milk, and sugar. Leave it on the counter until foam appears. Then add the egg, melted butter, and salt to the starter, and mix (I use a whisk). In another bowl, sift the flour and make a well in the center. Pour in the starter and mix. Knead into an elastic dough. Leave it to rise for 50 minutes.

Step 2

For the filling, mix 50 g of butter, 3–4 tablespoons of sugar, and 1–2 teaspoons of cinnamon (I replace the cinnamon with natural vanilla sugar). Combine the butter and sugar — the filling is ready.

Step 3

Place the risen dough on the counter. Divide the dough into 6 pieces. Roll each piece into a rectangle, spread the butter mixture (leave some for the top), and roll it into a log. Cut it in half lengthwise, without cutting all the way through. Twist it like a rope. Pinch the ends together to form a wreath. Brush the top with the remaining butter mixture.
