A soft, fluffy sweet yeast bread filled with smooth, creamy vanilla pudding and juicy seasonal fruit. Beautifully braided around its delicious filling, this homemade bake combines delicate sweetness with the refreshing flavour of blueberries, raspberries or your favourite fruit. Perfect for afternoon tea, family gatherings or a sweet treat with your morning coffee.
Prepare the pudding: Pour approximately ¼ cup of the 400 ml of milk into a separate container. Add the pudding powder and sugar, then mix thoroughly. Bring the remaining milk to the boil, pour in the pudding mixture and stir until thickened. Set aside to cool slightly.
Prepare the yeast dough: Sift the flour into a bowl, then add the sugar and Gellwe Instant Dried Yeast. Pour in the warm milk, add the oil and egg, and knead until a smooth, uniform dough forms. If necessary, dust lightly with a little extra flour.
Cover the bowl with a tea towel and leave in a warm place until the dough has doubled in size.
Roll out the risen dough into a thin rectangle. Transfer it to a baking tray lined with baking parchment. Spread the pudding filling along the centre and scatter the fruit over the top.
Cut the sides of the dough into strips and fold them alternately over the filling to create a braided pattern. Bake in an oven preheated to 180°C for approximately 25 minutes, until golden brown.
Once baked, leave to cool slightly. Serve as a dessert or a sweet accompaniment to coffee.
