70 gr. of milk + 60 gr.
10 gr. of fresh yeast + 20 gr.
1 teaspoon of sugar
70 gr. of butter or margarine
120 gr. Sugar glacé
1 lemon and 1 orange
2 eggs + 1 egg
30 gr. of orange blossom water
Salt, candied fruits and almonds

Preparation of the roscón de Reyes homemade
1. Mix the glacé sugar with the orange and lemon rinds to form a flavored sugar. Remove and reserve.
2. We start by mixing the ingredients of the sourdough: 130 gr. of flour of force, 70 gr. of milk, 10 gr. of fresh baker’s yeast and a teaspoon of sugar. Knead by hand for about ten minutes.

3. When it is well joined, make a ball with the dough. Introduce the ball in warm water to cover it. When the mass floats and has doubled its volume, in about 10 or 15 minutes, it will be ready.

4. Now make the main mass. To the flavored sugar add 450 gr. of strength flour, 60 gr. of milk, 20 gr. of fresh yeast, 70 gr. of butter, 2 eggs, 30 gr. of orange blossom water and a pinch of salt. When well mixed, add the dough and integrate both until you are homogeneous. Let it sit for 1 hour and a half.

5. After this time, knead for a while, approximately 10 minutes. (You’ll notice that the volume goes down, it’s normal). On a floured or oiled surface, shape the dough into a ball, smoothing it with your hands. Place the ball in the baking tray lined with baking paper. To form the roscón introduce the fingers in the center and open the dough so that the central hole is quite large. (Put some oil on your hands, you will work it better.) The dough that rises in the oven doubles, therefore, it is better to make two roscones with this dough and not one.
6. Preheat the oven to 200 º C. Paint with beaten egg and garnish with candied fruits, sliced ​​almonds and sugar moistened. Let it rest again until it doubles its volume again. Bake between 25 and 30 min., During the last 5 minutes lower the temperature to

180 º C.
