Ingredients

500 g flour
21 g yeast (0.5 cube)
200 ml lukewarm milk
80 g sugar
100 g orange zest
100 g raisins
2 tbsp orange liqueur
1 packet vanilla sugar
80 g softened butter
100 g powdered sugar
2 tbsp lemon juice
orange peel

Instructions

1.
Chop the orange zest finely. Dissolve yeast in the milk with 1 tsp sugar and mix all ingredients in a bowl using the dough hook of a mixer. Let the dough rise for 30 minutes. Knead it again, divide into three equal pieces, roll each into about 50 cm long strands, braid them into a knot, place on a greased baking tray, tie into a tight circle, cover and let rise for about 30 minutes in a warm spot, then bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 40 minutes until golden brown.
2.
Whisk powdered sugar with lemon juice until smooth and spread over the braid with a tablespoon. Sprinkle orange zest over the still wet glaze.
