make a well in center and add 1 cup of the milk and the yeast
mixture and stir until smooth. Cover and place in a warm spot
then let rise until doubled about 2 hours. Combine remaining
milk, remaining sugar and butter in a small saucepan. Heat
gently until butter melts. Cool to lukewarm and add it to

dough then mix in raisins.
Turn dough onto a floured board and knead until supple and
elastic 10 minutes. Return to large mixing bowl cover and

baking sheet. Cover loosely and let rise until doubled. Heat
oven to 375 degrees. Brush top with egg yolk and sprinkle
with almonds. Bake the Houska Bread at 375 degrees until nicely
browned 35 to 40 minutes. Cool on a wire rack before slicing.
