👨🍳 Instrucciones

Crumble fresh yeast into a small bowl, add a pinch of sugar and a tablespoon of lukewarm milk. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until frothy.
💡 Consejos de Profesional: Ensure yeast is active for a good rise. - 2
In a large bowl, combine flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center.
💡 Consejos de Profesional: Use a stand mixer with a dough hook for easier kneading. - 3
Pour the activated yeast mixture, remaining lukewarm milk, and egg yolk into the well. Mix everything together to form a soft, sticky dough.

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Gradually incorporate the softened butter, kneading until fully absorbed.

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

While the dough rises, prepare the filling. Mix ground nuts or poppy seeds with sugar and enough milk or water to form a spreadable paste.
💡 Consejos de Profesional: Adjust sugar to your preference. - 7
Punch down the risen dough and roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle, approximately 30x40 cm.

Spread the filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border on one long edge.

Starting from the long edge with the filling, tightly roll up the dough into a log. Pinch the seam to seal.

Cut the log into 12 equal slices. Place the slices cut-side up in a greased baking dish or on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between them.
