INGREDIENTS

530g (4 1/4 cups) of all-purpose flour

130g (3/4 cup) of sugar

110ml (1/2 cup) of milk

17g of fresh yeast

2 eggs

9g of salt

110g of butter

110g candied orange

Egg white

Sugar granules

METHOD

1. In a mixing bowl, add the flour and sugar and mix.

2. In a small bowl, add the milk and fresh yeast and mix to combine.

3. Pour the yeast/milk mixture and eggs into the mixing bowl and mix. When the dough starts to form, knead it with your hands to obtain a compact dough.

4. Add the salt and butter and continue kneading the dough. Finally, add the candied orange and knead until the dough absorbs it completely. Oil the bowl and dough and cover with cling film. Let it rise for 4 hours.

5. After the time is up, transfer the dough to a floured surface and roll it out into a circle of about 25cm.

6. Cut into 4 pieces, leaving the middle intact. Divide each quadrant into 4 pieces and roll them into spirals. Transfer to the mold and let it rise for 90 minutes.

7. After 90 minutes, brush the dough with the egg white and sprinkle with the sugar granules. Bake at 180°C/360°F for 30 minutes.

8. Serve on the serving dish and enjoy.
