Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Mix the flour with the yeast, the sugar and the salt in a large bowl.
* Step 2
Make a well in the center and add the lukewarm milk, one egg and the yolk of the second egg.
* Step 3
Knead by pulling in the flour from the sides, little by little
* Step 4
Until you have a soft dough.
* Step 5
Cover the dough and leave it to rest for 5'.
* Step 6
In the meantime, mix the sugar, cinnamon, cherries and walnuts in a bowl. Set them aside.
* Step 7
Divide the dough into 3 equal parts.
* Step 8
Roll out each part into a thick sheet of 30 cm diameter.
* Step 9
Place the first sheet into a non-stick backing tray. Spread half of the soft butter onto its surface and sprinkle with half of the walnut mixture.
* Step 10
Now place the second sheet, spread the rest of the butter on it and sprinkle with the remaining walnut mixture.
* Step 11
Top with the third sheet and place a small plate of 5 cm diameter on its center (in the photo it's a cookie cutter of that particular diameter).
* Step 12
Using a sharp knife cut 16 pieces, starting from the plate towards the circumferance.
* Step 13
Remove the small plate.
* Step 14
Twist each piece, spirally, turning it 3 times.

Cover with plastic wrap and leave it to rise for 15-40 minutes or as much as it takes until it doubles.

Beat the egg white lightly with a tsp of sugar and brush the top of the vasilopita.
