How it's done

Dough

Mix the flour, salt, sugar and yeast in a bowl. Add the milk and egg, mix, knead to form a soft, smooth dough. Cover the dough and leave to rise at room temperature for approx. 2 hrs.

To shape

On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a square measuring approx. 50 x 50 cm. Spread the butter on top of the dough, leaving a border of approx. 1 cm all the way around. Roll up the dough from the long edge, chill for approx. 45 mins. Roll out the dough roll into a rectangle measuring approx. 15 x 50 cm, dust with icing sugar, roll up again from the long edge. Twist the roll to create a spiral, place on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Cover and leave to rise for a further 1 hr.

To bake

Approx. 35 mins. in the lower half of an oven preheated to 180°C. Remove, allow to cool slightly, dust with icing sugar, serve lukewarm or cold.
