Cinnamon Vánočka by Pavel Berky

Sift the flour into a bowl, add a pinch of salt, sugar, yeast, one whole egg, two egg yolks, milk, and quark. Let all ingredients mix in a stand mixer until combined. Then add the softened butter and let it mix until a smooth, elastic dough forms. Cover the bowl with the dough with cling film and let it rise in a warm place for approximately 1 hour.

Turn the risen dough out onto a work surface. Knead the dough a few times with your hands to release excess air. Divide it into three equal parts. Set one aside for now, and divide the remaining two again into halves. Roll these four parts into thicker strands about 25 cm long.

Roll out the reserved piece of dough to about 1 cm thick. Brush it with melted butter, sprinkle with cinnamon and brown sugar. Roll the dough up like a roulade and then cut it lengthwise into two strands.
