Cougnou is a sweet bread that's formed like baby Jesus wrapped in 
clothes and is made with flour, eggs, raisins, milk, yeast and sugar.

Dissolve yeast in warm milk and let it stand for 10 min. This is 
called proofing.

In a large bowl, sift flour, add salt, sugar, egg, and the dissolved yeast.

Now, knead it to an elastc dough and let it rise for about an hour.

When the dough has doubled, punch the dough slightly and add the raisins.

Shape dough as a newborn wrapped in blankets (See below for how to 
shape cougnou dough)

Line a baking dish with parchment paper, place it and let it rise for 
about 30-35 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350, brush the cougnou with eggwash and bake till golden.

Once baked, brush a 1:1 percent sugar solution on top for a crisp sweet taste.
