Preparation steps

For the dough: mix two flours in a bowl and make a well in the center. Crumble yeast and mix with 5 tablespoons of lukewarm water, Add sugar to the well, dust with some flour and let rise, covered, in a warm place until surface of dough cracks. Add remaining water, milk, yeast and salt to flour mixture and knead into smooth dough which leaves the sides of the bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm place until dough doubles in bulk.

Place pork onto dough and fold in dough, pressing the edges well together. Brush dough with beaten egg yolk. Cut out 1.5 cm (approximately 1/2 inch) strips of out 10 cm strips with a serrated pastry wheel. Roll out any remaining dough into 1.5 cm strips as well (with a serrated pastry wheel). Arrange strips on top of roll in a diamond pattern decoratively, brush with egg yolks mixture.
