Herring Wreath

For the herring wreath, first prepare the dough by mixing the yeast with sugar and lukewarm milk to a damp. Leave to rest in a warm place for about 15 minutes.

Add the egg yolks, butter, flour and salt and knead to a smooth dough. Put the dough ball in a bowl, cover with a tea towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour.

In the meantime, prepare the herring cheese according to this recipe.

Preheat the oven to 180 °C.

Roll out the dough into a rectangle on a floured surface. Brush with melted butter and then spread the herring cheese evenly. Sprinkle with chopped chives and roll into a long dough roll.

Cut the dough roll in half with a sharp knife so that about 5 cm remain whole at the upper edge (see photo).

Now beat the two strands of dough over each other until a nicely braided plait is formed. Shape the braid into a wreath and brush with a little butter.

Bake in the oven for about 40-45 minutes until golden brown. If the herring wreath starts to color too quickly, cover it with aluminum foil after about 10-15 minutes.

Preparation Tip:

This herring wreath makes every herring feast something very special. If you like, you can also replace the filling with salmon with crème fraîche or a herb pesto.
