## Steps

1. Dissolve the yeast in the milk in a bowl.
2. Add the yogurt, egg, honey, olive oil, salt and wholemeal flour.
3. Mix the dough well, then add the plain flour.
4. Knead the dough until soft and elastic, preferably with a mixer on medium speed for 7–10 minutes.
5. Shape the dough into a ball and place in a bowl.
6. Cover the bowl with a clean tea towel and let the dough rise on the worktop for 1 hour.
7. Fry the onion and garlic in olive oil in a saucepan until the onion is soft.
8. Add the remaining sauce ingredients, mix well and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes to reduce slightly.
9. Season the sauce with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
10. Put the sauce in the fridge to cool completely before assembling the swirls.
11. Roll out the dough on a floured worktop into a rectangle about ½ cm thick.

13. Roll the dough into a long log and cut with a sharp knife into swirls about 2 cm thick.
14. Place the swirls on a lined baking tray and shape them into neat rounds with your hands.
15. Let them rise for 30 minutes.
16. Brush with beaten egg and bake in a fan oven preheated to 180°C for 17–20 minutes, until golden.
