Mix together the melted butter and sugar.

Put the flour, the yeast melted in water, the yogurt mix and the butter and sugar mix in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the hook attachment.
Add the salt and knead for at least 10 minutes or until the dough is very smooth.
Make into a bowl and let it rise for 2 hours.
Divide the dough into 9 pieces. Divide each piece in 3 and roll each of them into ropes.
Line the ropes side-by-side and braid them together. Seal the ends.
Place on a cookie sheet lined with baking paper and repeat with the rest of the dough.

Gently brush them with milk and dust with granulated sugar.
