Baking Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 356°F (180°C, fan-assisted).
  2. Combine granulated sugar, full-fat milk, and active dry yeast in a mixing bowl. Let sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
  3. Add all-purpose flour, melted butter, egg yolks, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground cloves to the yeast mixture. Mix until a smooth dough begins to form.
  4. Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover, and allow to rise in a warm area for approximately 45 minutes.
  5. Punch down the dough, divide it into pieces for the body, head, limbs, and ears, and shape into smooth balls.
  6. Place the large ball as the body and arrange the smaller balls as the head, limbs, and ears on a greased baking pan.
  7. Decorate with raisins for eyes and almonds for the mouth.
  8. Brush the surface lightly with an egg wash and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
