preparation

  • 1

    Mix the flour and SHEKO vanilla powder in a large bowl. Make a well in the center, add the dry yeast , and pour in the warm milk . Stir and let it rest for 5 minutes, until bubbles form.

  • 2

    Add the erythritol , low-fat quark , and egg to the flour mixture. Knead everything into a smooth dough . If the dough is too sticky, lightly flour your hands or rub them with a little oil.

  • 3

    Place the dough in a bowl, cover with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 1.5 hours , until the volume has doubled.

  • 4

    Place the risen dough on a lightly floured work surface, knead briefly, and divide into three equal strands . Braid the strands together and press the ends firmly. Place the braid on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

    Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F) using conventional oven settings (top and bottom heat) and bake the braided yeast bread in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes . After 15 minutes, cover with parchment paper if necessary to prevent over-browning. Remove the finished braided yeast bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack.
