This braided sweet yeast bread with a buttery cocoa filling is perfect for breakfast or with coffee. The dough is divided into six portions, spread with a filling of butter, powdered sugar, and cocoa powder, and braided into two loaves. After rising for half an hour, the loaves are brushed with a mixture of egg yolk, milk, and sugar and baked for 25 minutes at 180 °C (350 °F).

Instructions
Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.
Combine the milk, sugar, and yeast to make a yeast starter. Add the remaining dough ingredients and knead into a dough. Divide into 6 balls and let rest for about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, mix all the filling ingredients together.
Roll each ball into a rope as long as the baking sheet. Spread each rope with filling, then braid them into two loaves. Transfer to the baking sheet.
Let the braided loaves rise for 30 minutes, then brush with a mixture of the milk, sugar, and egg yolk. Bake for 25 minutes at 180 °C (350 °F).
Tip: Spread the butter filling thinly, leaving the ends of the dough ropes bare. Pinch the ends of each braid firmly together and tuck them underneath to keep the braid from unraveling during baking.
