Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the yeast is foamy.
-
To the yeast mixture, add the melted butter, sugar, salt, quark, and lemon zest. Stir until well combined.
-
Gradually add the flour, mixing until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
After the dough has risen, punch it down and knead in the raisins until evenly distributed.
-
Shape the dough into a round loaf and transfer it to the prepared baking sheet.
-
Brush the top of the loaf with the beaten egg wash and sprinkle sliced almonds on top.
-
Bake the Osterbrot in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and baked through.
-
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
