  1. Dissolve the yeast in lukewarm milk with a spoonful of sugar and leave it to froth.
  2. Whisk the eggs with the sugar until pale.
  3. Combine with the flour and the yeast and knead for a long time — kozunak loves kneading.
  4. Add the melted butter a little at a time, until the dough is elastic.
  5. Leave it to rise until doubled, about 1.5 hours.
  6. Knead in the raisins, shape into braids and put them in tins.
  7. Leave them to rise again for 45 minutes.
  8. Brush with egg and sprinkle with sugar.
  9. Bake at 170 °C for 40–45 minutes, covering with foil if it darkens too early.
