Method

500 g. Plain Flour
10 g. Dried Yeast
50 g. Caster Sugar
Pinch Of Salt
250 ml. Warm Milk
2 Egg Yolks
50 g. Melted Butter
100 g. Granulated Sugar

Dissolve the yeast and a teaspoon of sugar in warm milk. Leave it in a warm place until it starts to froth.

Mix the flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture, egg yolks, and melted butter. Knead to make a smooth dough.

Cover and leave the dough to rise in a warm place until it doubles in size.

When the dough is ready, divide it into small pieces and roll each piece into a long, thin rope.

Wrap each rope of dough around a wooden stick or metal tube, leaving small gaps between the coils.

Mix granulated sugar and cinnamon together.

Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

While still warm, roll the trdelnik in the sugar and cinnamon mixture.
