Dough: place the flour in a bowl and make a well in the middle. In a separate bowl mix together the milk, sugar and yeast, pour into the well and, mix with a bit of flour until the liquid has thickened, then cover with flour and let rise until it starts to foam. Knead in the scalded grain, then the eggs and salt. Slowly add the butter in pieces, kneading briefly until you have a soft, smooth dough. Cover and let rise at room temperature for an hour. Then place the dough in a cool place for 4-6 hours or in the fridge overnight, until it doubles in size, pressing it down 1-2 times as it rises.

Filling: mix the mascarpone, crème fraîche, sugar and cinnamon until smooth.
