Preparation
- Make the pre-dough
Mix KOMEKO BROTGENUSS, soy milk (approx. 30 °C), yeast and sugar to form a dough and let it rise, covered, for 30 minutes. - Knead the main dough
After the resting time, knead the pre-dough with the remaining ingredients for the main dough until smooth. Cover the dough with cling film and let it rest in the refrigerator for 20 minutes. - Prepare the filling
For the filling, mix the ground nuts, brown sugar, vanilla sugar, cinnamon, and soy milk in a bowl with a spoon. Let it sit for a while. - Roll out the dough and fill it
Place the yeast dough on a floured work surface and roll it out into a rectangle the size of the 40 x 25 cm loaf pan. Pour the filling onto it, leaving 1 cm around the edges, and smooth it out. Roll the dough up from the long side, wrap it in cling film, and let it rest in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. - Preheat oven
Preheat oven to 200 °C top/bottom heat (fan oven: 180 °C). - Prepare dough strands
Halve the roll lengthwise and wrap the two strands around each other several times, with the "open" nut sides facing up. Place the nut braid in the greased loaf pan, cover with a towel, and let it rise for 10 minutes. - Bake and cool
Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes (cover with aluminum foil for the last 10 minutes if necessary). Allow the nut braid to cool completely. - Apply icing
Mix powdered sugar with a little water or milk until the desired consistency is reached, then coat the nut braid with it. Let it dry.
