Preparation

  1. Crumble the yeast in a bowl and stir it into the water. Add the eggs, sugar, flour, and salt.
  2. Knead the dough on a mixer at low speed. Add the butter in small cubes little by little.
  3. Let the dough continue to knead for about 5 minutes until it is shiny and smooth.
  4. Shape the dough into a ball and let it rise for 40 minutes.
  5. Blend the hazelnuts and mix together the other ingredients for the herb butter.
  6. Divide the dough into 4 pieces - roll each piece into a rectangle of about 40 cm. Spread a thin layer of herb butter on each piece.
  7. Then roll the dough lengthwise into a tight roulade.
  8. Cut the roulade in half lengthwise so you can clearly see the lengthwise stripes from the herb butter. Twist them together with the herb butter facing upwards all the time.
  9. Place them on a baking sheet. Let them rise for 40 minutes.
  10. Heat the oven to 210°C.
  11. Brush the loaves with egg and bake for about 20 minutes until golden and crispy on top.
