Instructions: In a large mixing bowl place flour; make a well in the centre. In a small bowl combine warm milk, crumbled yeast (or active dry yeast) and pinch of sugar; stir to dissolve. Pour yeast mixture into well and let set 5 minutes. In a small bowl combine butter, egg yolks, and salt; add to well. Knead liquid into dry ingredients until dough is smooth, elastic, and easy to shape into a ball. Work in more flour (about 1/2 cup) if needed. Dust with flour. Cover with a damp towel and proof in a warm spot until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch down dough; turn onto lightly floured surface and roll out 1/2-inch thick. Place on a greased 15x10x1-inch baking sheet; cover with a towel and proof for 20 minutes. Cut plums into quarters lengthwise, removing pits. Arrange plum quarters on dough vertically, poking ends into the dough (pack tightly); dough should be soft enough to support plum quarters on end. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup cinnamon-sugar. Cover and proof for 10 minutes. Bake at 390 F/200 C for about 40 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining cinnamon-sugar
