Method
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
- Add the melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract to the yeast mixture and mix well.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and knead until a smooth dough forms.
- Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Roll out the dough into a rectangle on a floured surface.
- Spread your desired filling evenly over the dough.
- Roll up the dough tightly to form a log and then twist it into a braid.
- Place the braid on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let the Kringle cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
