German Sweet Braided Rolls Flachswickel are a traditional German breakfast food, often served with jam and butter. They are soft, sweet, and braided into beautiful shapes, making them a treat for the eyes as well as the taste buds. The dough is perfectly balanced with butter, milk, flour, and sugar to give it a light and fluffy texture. These rolls are perfect for those who love a sweet breakfast or for those who crave a change from their usual breakfast routine. These rolls are also great to be prepared and then enjoyed for a weekend brunch.

Instructions

1.	In a small saucepan, melt the butter and milk over low heat until mixture is lukewarm.
2.	In a large bowl, mix together the flour, yeast, superfine sugar, and salt.
3.	Add the lukewarm milk mixture and eggs to the bowl, stirring constantly until it forms a dough.
4.	Knead the dough on a floured surface for 10-15 minutes until smooth and elastic.
5.	Place the dough in a greased bowl and let it rise for 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
6.	Preheat oven to 350°F. On a floured surface, shape the dough into twelve 10-inch long ropes.
7.	Take 3 ropes and pinch them together at one end. Braid the ropes and pinch again at the end. Repeat with the remaining ropes.
8.	Place the rolled braids on a greased baking sheet and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
9.	Bake for 25-35 minutes or until golden brown.
10.	Dust with sifted confectioners' sugar before serving.
