Prepare the dough using the 'omládek' (starter) method: in a stand mixer bowl, mix all-purpose and semi-coarse flour, make a well in the center, pour in two-thirds of the milk, and crumble in the yeast. Gradually mix in flour from the sides until a batter about as thick as for pancakes forms. Dust the surface with all-purpose flour and let it rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.

Melt the butter in a saucepan. Whisk the egg in a bowl with a fork. Add the remaining milk, butter, both types of sugar, salt, finely grated lemon zest, and the egg to the bowl with the starter, and knead in a stand mixer for 10 minutes until a smooth, non-sticky dough forms. Finally, incorporate the raisins and almonds into the dough. Let the dough rest for 30 minutes in a warm place.

Preheat the oven to 160 °C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
