Instructions
Base
- Mix fresh yeast into the lukewarm milk to dissolve. Add flour, butter, vanilla extract, honey and eggs.
- 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.
- After an hour take the dough out of the bowl onto a floured surface.
- 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
- Choose one of the fillings then put all the ingredients that belongs to it in a bowl.
- Whisk them together until butter gets a creamy, easy to spread texture.
Assembly
- 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.
- Place it on the baking tray.
- Spread one third of the chocolate cream evenly on top.
- Roll the second dough ball and place it on top of the first one.
- 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.
- Place a round cup in the middle of the dough to make sure not to cut the middle.
- With a sharp knife or a cutter slice the bread into 16 even pieces.
- 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.
- 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.
- Brush egg on top of the bread before putting it into the preheated oven.
- Bake it in the 350°F / 180°C preheated oven for half an hour or until the top is golden brown.

Enjoy!
