Quark Easter Wreath

Prepare the ingredients. This is what will be on your plate – two-colored quark wreaths with cocoa and almonds; prepare your ingredients in advance so the work goes smoothly 🍩🔥 Preheat the oven to 170 °C.

Beat the base. Place softened butter, sugar and eggs into a bowl (it's better to beat the eggs with the sugar first) and beat until a smooth, fluffy mixture forms.

Add the quark. Add the quark and mix thoroughly until a uniform mass forms.

Work the dough. Add the baking powder and mix.

Divide the dough. Divide the dough into two halves, add flour to each, and work cocoa into one portion.

Form the logs. Divide both doughs into equal portions (if the dough is too soft, work in a little more flour) and shape each into long logs.

Twist the wreaths. Twist one light and one dark log together and join into a circle. The dough softens quickly, so work fast

Bake the wreaths. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, brush with beaten egg and bake for about 25 minutes until golden.

Serve. Let cool and serve 🍽️✨
