Sift the flour into a bowl, press a well in the center and crumble the yeast into it. With a little milk and flour from the rim stir to make a pre‑starter, cover and let rise for 15 minutes. Add the remaining milk with apple syrup, egg, yolk and a pinch of salt. Sprinkle butter pieces over the mixture and knead everything into a smooth dough until it starts bubbling; if needed add a bit more flour. Cover with a cloth and let rise for another 30 minutes.
