Rosca de Reyes

"This traditional holiday Mexican bread is a bit time-consuming, but absolutely worth the effort."

Ingredients :

• Bread:
• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 eggs
• 3 eggs, separated
• 2/3 cup white sugar
• 1 tablespoon warm water
• 2 (.25 ounce) packages dry yeast
• 1 orange, zested
• 1 lime, zested
• 1 pinch salt
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1 tablespoon butter, softened
• Topping:
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 20 candied citrus peels

Instructions :

Prep : 35M	Cook : 12M	Ready in : 2H45M

• Mix 4 cups flour, eggs, egg yolks, 2/3 cup white sugar, water, dry yeast, orange zest, lime zest, and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook. Add 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon butter; mix until dough is elastic and shiny, about 5 minutes.
• Form dough into a ball. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 45 minutes.
• Punch down dough gently; roll into a long cylinder. Join the ends of the cylinder together in the shape of an oval ring. Place ring on a greased baking sheet; cover and let rise in a warm place for 45 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Whisk eggs whites in a small bowl. Brush egg whites evenly over dough.
• Mix 1/2 cup white sugar and 1/4 cup butter in a small bowl with your fingers to form a paste. Add enough flour to give paste the consistency of Play-Doh(R); divide into 5 or 6 balls. Place each ball between two 3-inch squares of parchment paper. Press with the bottom of a 1-cup measuring cup to make a circle about 1/8 inch thick.
• Space circles evenly around the dough ring. Arrange candied citrus peels on top of the dough.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Cool for 20 minutes before slicing.

Notes :

• Don't worry too much if you do not see much change in the dough, especially in cold climates.
• You do not need to use all 3 egg whites to brush the dough. If your paste is too dry in step 6, you may add 1 teaspoon of egg white.
• Use candied citrus peels in 2 or 3 different colors if available.
