Pour the flour into a bowl and make a well in the center. Crumble the yeast into it, sprinkle the sugar on top, and stir with 1-2 tbsp lukewarm milk. Dust some flour over the mixture. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and let rest for 10 minutes in a warm place.

Add the remaining milk, sugar, vanilla sugar, almonds, raisins, and cut the butter into small pieces before adding them as well. Knead with dough hooks until a firm dough forms.
