For the dough, mix the flour, lukewarm milk, vanilla sugar, egg, soft butter, fresh yeast, and a pinch of salt in a bowl until combined.

Prepare the filling by mixing finely ground walnuts, finely ground almonds, powdered sugar, heavy cream, and almond extract in a bowl.

Roll the dough into a long rope, fill it with the nut mixture, then braid to form a wreath.

Place the braided wreath on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let it rise until puffy.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the wreath for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.

Let cool on a wire rack, then mix powdered sugar with milk to create a glaze and drizzle over the cooled wreath.

Garnish with flaked almonds.
