For the sweet Easter wreath, first put flour, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Make an indentation in the center and crumble the yeast into it. Pour some lukewarm milk over it and dust with a little flour. Let the dampfl rise in a warm place with the lid closed for about 15 minutes.
Add fat and remaining milk and knead everything together with the dough hook of the hand mixer until smooth. Let rise again with the lid closed for about 30 minutes. Divide dough into 3 parts and shape each into strands about 60 cm long. Braid strands into a plait. Place on a greased baking sheet to form a wreath. Let rise again for about 15 minutes. Mix egg yolk and whipped cream and brush the wreath with it.
Bake the sweet Easter wreath in a heated oven at 200 °C (gas mark 3) for 35-40 minutes.
