Sift the flour, salt, and sugar into a large bowl. Add the yeast, then make a well in the center.

Add butter, milk, egg yolks, dried fruits, and zest. Knead the dough. Transfer to a floured surface and knead for 10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a mold with a capacity of 1.25 kg. Cover with oiled film and leave in a warm place for 60 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 190 degrees. Bake for 45-50 minutes. The main sign that the dish is ready: a stick inserted in the middle should come out clean.

Let the kulich cool in the mold for 5 minutes. Turn it onto a rack and brush with warmed honey. Once cooled, slice and serve with butter.
