Instructions

1. In a bowl, mix the milk, egg, sugar and yeast.
2. Add the flour and salt and mix until a dough forms.
3. Add the softened butter and mix until fully absorbed.
4. Knead, slap and fold on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic.
5. Shape into a ball, coat with oil and cover. Let rise for 1 hour, or until doubled.
6. Make the filling: beat the softened butter, icing sugar and salt until light and fluffy.
7. Gradually beat in the egg, mixing after each addition. Then mix in the powdered milk, cornstarch and vanilla until well combined. Set aside.
8. Punch down the risen dough and divide into 3 equal portions of about 250 g each.
9. Shape each portion into a ball and rest it covered for 10 minutes.
10. Roll each ball into a rectangle and spread one third of the filling over it. Roll into a log.
11. Pinch and seal the edges. Repeat to make three logs.
12. Braid the three logs and pinch the ends. Place in a greased 10x4x4 inch glass dish or loaf pan.
13. Cover and let rise for 30-40 minutes. Brush with egg wash and top with almond slivers.
14. Bake at 170°C/350°F for 30-35 minutes.
