Ingredients
1/3 cup + 2 tsp Bowl & Basket whole milk, divided
1 tsp active dry yeast
¼ cup plus 2 tbsp Bowl & Basket granulated sugar, divided
3 ½ to 4 cups Bowl & Basket all-purpose flour, divided
Pinch of salt
½ cup Bowl & Basket unsalted butter, softened, divided
3 large eggs + 1 egg yolk, divided
zest of 1 medium-large oranges
Bowl & Basket vegetable oil, for coating the dough bowl
¼ cup Bowl & Basket powdered sugar
candied fruits, such as cherries or orange slices, for decorating
sliced almonds, for decorating
Directions
- Make the dough: In a cup or bowl, heat ⅓ cup milk in the microwave in 15-second increments or on the stove until it's just warm to the touch. A thermometer should read around 110°F-115°F.
- Stir in the yeast and 1 tablespoon of the sugar. Stir to combine, loosely cover with plastic wrap, and let it stand for 5 minutes until it gets very foamy. While waiting, melt 6 tbsp of the butter in a microwave safe bowl.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together 3 cups of flour, remaining granulated sugar, and salt.
- Attach the dough hook to the mixer and add the 6 tbsp melted butter, 2 eggs, orange zest, and yeast mixture.
- Mix on medium-low speed for 6-8 minutes, until the dough becomes smooth and elastic and pulls away from the bowl. If the dough is still sticky, mix in 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour at a time until it’s just right.
- Coat a large bowl with oil and transfer the dough to the bowl, shaping it into a ball. Cover it with a kitchen towel and let it rise for 1 to 1 ½ hours until doubled in size.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Use your fingers to create a hole in the middle of the ball. Then gently pull and stretch the dough all around to create a large ring.
- Transfer the shaped dough to the prepared baking sheet. Lightly cover with a kitchen towel and let rise for 45 more minutes.
- Make the sugar paste: While the dough is rising, make the sugar paste topping. In a medium bowl, beat together the egg yolk, ¼ cup remaining all-purpose flour, confectioners sugar, and remaining 2 tbsp butter until well combined.
- Divide the paste into 6 pieces and shape them into strips. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Make the egg wash for the decoration: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and remaining 2 tsp milk until combined.
- When ready to decorate, preheat the oven to 350°F and arrange the oven racks in the middle position.
- Uncover the dough and brush the dough with the egg wash.
- Decorate the bread with the sugar paste strips evenly spaced across the dough. Arrange the candied fruits and sliced almonds in the empty spaces as desired.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the bread is fully cooked through. Allow to cool for at least 30 minutes.
