Stir the warm whole milk, active dry yeast, and a little of the white sugar together and leave the mixture until foamy.

Roll out the risen dough into a rectangle, spread the filling evenly over it, and roll it up tightly from the long side.
- 05
Place the roll seam-side down on a lined baking tray and let it rise again until slightly puffy.

Bake at 180°C (350°F) until the roll is golden brown and baked through.
