Ingredients:

  • 450 g white flour (1 lb)
  • 75 g butter (5 tbsp)
  • 75 g sugar (3 oz)
  • 25 g fresh yeast , dissolved in (1 oz.)
  • 140 ml warm milk (1/2 cup)
  • 2 tsp orange zest
  • 2 tsp lemon zest
  • 2 egg whites, beaten to stiff peaks
  • 1 egg white, beaten to stiff peaks
  • 1 tbsp brandy
  • 1 tbsp orange flower water
  • 1 pinch salt
  • candied fruit, in large pieces
  • dried beans (or a silver coin)

Directions:

  1. Place the flour and salt into a large bowl; make a well in the centre and pour in the dissolved yeast; gradually mix in the flour; when the mixture is thick, sprinkle all over with flour and let rest for 15 minutes in a warm place.
  2. Meanwhile, cream together the butter and sugar.
  3. Mix the zests, brandy, orange flower water and the two eggs into the dough; knead until it becomes smooth, gradually mix in the butter, kneading constantly, until the dough becomes even smoother and more elastic;
  4. Cover with greased paper and let rise in a warm place for about 90 minutes, until the dough has doubled in volume.
  5. Place the dough on a floured surface, knead for 2 to 3 minutes; add in the silver coin or bean.
  6. With your hands, roll the dough into a long sausage-shape, approximately 65 cm (2 feet) long and 13 cm (5 ) thick.
  7. Place on a baking sheet, forming the dough into a circle; join the two ends by pinching the dough together.
  8. Cover with greased paper and let rest another 90 minutes or until the dough has doubled in volume; brush the crown with the beaten egg white, decorate with the almonds and slices of candied fruit, pressing them down so that they stick to the dough.
  9. Place into a 180° C (350° F) oven and bake for 30-35 minutes until the bread is cooked and golden.
  10. Place on a rack and let cool.
