How to do it

dough

  1. pre-heat the oven at about 50°C
  2. Warm the milk (it shouldn't boil, just be warm so that the yeast dissolves more easily and can pre-rise)
  3. dissolve the yeast in the warm milk
  4. mix milk, flour, butter, sugar and salt and knead it wir about 10 minutes (dough rises more easily then)
  5. place the covered dough in oven on lowest rack and let rise for approx. 15 minutes -in the meantime, you can quality-control the rum and/or prepare the filling
  6. melt some butter in the oven in a loaf pan
