I promised to post the recipe, if they turned out nicely \u2013 and they did! So here it is. It is mainly a \u201cuse leftovers\u201d recipe as it contains a bit of left over quark and some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hefe-und-mehr.de\/en\/2013\/12\/ser-starter-aktuelle-version-mit-angepassten-mengen\/\">sweet starter<\/a> after refreshing. The Quark adds a nice moistness to the dough and enhances shelf live. But the special turn in this recipe is the tiny bit of rye flour I added. As I learned last year from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hefe-und-mehr.de\/2016\/09\/onjeschwedde\/?noredirect=de_DE\">Onjeschwedde<\/a> is a small dose of rye good to enhance the crumb structure to extra soft and pillowy.<\/p>\n<p>Another point I love at weekends too is the fact that the recipe is great for proofing overn\u00edght in the fridge. So the next morning the only thing I had to do is placing the baking tray in the oven. Perfect for relaxed sundays!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1><u>Quark-Braid<\/u><\/h1>\n<p>yied three braids<\/p>\n<p>Sweet Starter<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>100g <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hefe-und-mehr.de\/2013\/12\/ser-starter-aktuelle-version-mit-angepassten-mengen\/\">Sweet Starter<\/a><\/li>\n<li>100g flour Type 550<\/li>\n<li>50g Water<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Dough<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sweet Starter<\/li>\n<li>740g flour Type 550<\/li>\n<li>100g Rye flour Type 1150<\/li>\n<li>350g Milk<\/li>\n<li>200g Quark<\/li>\n<li>100g Egg (2 eggs size M)<\/li>\n<li>\n<ul><!--EndFragment--><\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>20g fresh yeast<\/li>\n<li>10g Salt<\/li>\n<li>125g sugar<\/li>\n<li>80g Butter<\/li>\n<li><!--EndFragment--><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Decoration<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1 egg (beaten)<\/li>\n<li>sliced almonds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hefe-und-mehr.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Quarkzopf4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; float: right; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px; border: 0px;\" title=\"Quarkzopf4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hefe-und-mehr.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Quarkzopf4_thumb.jpg\" alt=\"Quarkzopf4\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" align=\"right\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a>Mix the ingredients of the sweet starter and let it rise for 4 hours at 30\u00b0C.<\/p>\n<p>Knead all ingredients except sugar and butter for 5 min at slow speed. Then knead 7 min at fast speed. Now add the sugar in small increments and knead until the sugar is incooperated before adding the next sugar. At last add the butter all at once.
