yeast in a little lukewarm milk. Make a well in
the sieved flour and pour in the yeast milk. Mix
and add milk. The result should be a dough
ball that does not stick. Cover with a clean
dishcloth and let rise for an hour at room
temperature and draft-free.

Knead the dough a second time. Cut off a small
part and roll it out into a large piece. Knead the
rest of the dough with coarsely broken sugar
cubes and make a round loaf.
Wrap this in the rolled out dough and cut a few
slots in the top. Let rise for another hour. Then
put it in the oven at 210°C for 40 minutes.
Spray the top with a little water once the bread
is ready.
