Dissolve the yeast in lukewarm milk and add the sugar. Let the mixture rise.
Mix the flour, melted butter, oil, eggs, salt and, if desired, raisins into a smooth dough.
Dust the dough lightly with flour and let it rise until it has doubled in volume.
Divide the dough into 8-10 portions. Form each portion into a roll and fold it in the middle. Braid the ends together to form a plait.
Place the plaits on a baking tray lined with baking paper and let them rise for another 30 minutes. Bake them at 210 °C.
Immediately coat the finished plaits with butter and roll them in cinnamon sugar. Enjoy!
