Super Easy Rosca De Reyes Recipe by Ana Angel
Super Easy Rosca de Reyes Cooking Instructions 3 hours 1 Starter Dough: Mix 1/4 cup of the warm milk with 3 tablespoons of sugar, then add the yeast. Cover the mixture and let it ferment for 15 minutes in a warm place. 2 Prepare the orange blossom water by boiling a few lemon or orange blossoms in a little water, then let it cool. 3 Once the starter dough has fermented: In a large bowl, make a well in the 4 cups of flour. Gradually add the sugar, lemon and orange zest, salt, the rest of the milk, eggs, the starter dough, orange blossom water, and finally the melted butter. Mix until you have a smooth dough. 4 Lightly flour a flat surface, turn out the dough, and knead for a few minutes, adding a little flour as needed until the dough is smooth and not sticky. 5 Shape the dough into a ball, then divide it into two equal pieces to make two loaves. Place them on greased and floured baking sheets. 6 Cover with damp towels and let rise in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 1 hour. 7 After rising, flour your fist and make a hole in the center of each loaf to form the traditional ring shape. 8 Use your hands to shape the dough into an even ring. 9 When baking, the dough will expand, so place a small oven-safe bowl in the center to help keep the ring shape. 10 Cover with damp towels and let rise again for about 1 hour, until doubled in size. While waiting, you can prepare the topping. 11 FOR THE TOPPING: Beat together 2/3 cup sugar and 1 stick butter until creamy. Add the egg, flour, vanilla, and cinnamon, and continue beating until you have a thick paste. 12 After the dough has risen, brush the ring with a beaten egg. 13 Decorate with strips of fruit paste, making sure to cover well since the bread will expand and the fruit paste will spread apart as it bakes. 14 Add the topping in spaced sections on top of the ring, leaving some areas uncovered. 15 If you want to hide small figurines inside, insert them along the edge of the ring so they’ll be hidden after baking. 16 Bake at 350°F (180°C) for about 20 minutes, or until the bread is golden and cooked through. 17 Done! Enjoy with your favorite person. 1 Starter Dough: Mix 1/4 cup of the warm milk with 3 tablespoons of sugar, then add the yeast.
