How to make cinnamon star bread

Base

1. Mix fresh yeast into the lukewarm milk to dissolve. Add flour, butter, vanilla extract, honey and eggs.
2. Knead it until it’s even and the dough is off the side of the mixing bowl. Cover the bowl and leave it in a warm place for an hour to raise.
3. After an hour take the dough out of the bowl onto a floured surface.
4. Divide it into 4 equal pieces. Make dough balls out of them. Find a warm place aside to place them not too close to each other, and cover them with a kitchen towel for another half an hour to raise more.

Filling

1. Choose one of the fillings then put all the ingredients that belongs to it in a bowl.
2. Whisk them together until butter gets a creamy, easy to spread texture.

Assembly

1. Start working with the first dough-ball. Place it on a well-floured surface and strew it in a circle shape that fits in the backing tray with a help of a rolling pin.
2. Place it on the baking tray.
3. Spread one third of the chocolate cream evenly on top.
4. Roll the second dough ball and place it on top of the first one.
5. Spread the third of the chocolate cream on top. Repeat the same process with the other dough ball then put the last one on top without the chocolate topping.    
6. Place a round cup in the middle of the dough to make sure not to cut the middle.
7. With a sharp knife or a cutter slice the bread into 16 even pieces.
8. Take two pieces and spin them outwards 3 times then pinch the ends together to make a pointy end. Repeat it with the remaining pieces.
9. Cover it with a kitchen towel and leave it in a warm place for another half an hour before putting it into the preheated oven. Fear not if the turning and pinching fails at first try. It will still be delicious.
10. Brush egg on top of the bread before putting it into the preheated oven.
11. Bake it in the 350°F / 180°C preheated oven for half an hour or until the top is golden brown.
