Ingredients
  

  • 25g Levure de boulanger
  • 150g Fruits confits

Instructions
 

  • Begin by gently warming the milk, then crumble the yeast into a small dish, dissolving it in a small portion of the milk.
  • Meanwhile, in the robot's bowl, combine flour, salt, sugar, and a whole egg. Mix while gradually adding yeast, milk, and orange blossom water.
  • Thoroughly mix the dough, then add the butter in small pieces. Mix for at least 5 minutes.
  • Cover the mixer bowl, allowing the dough to rise for 1-2 hours. It should double in size during this time.
  • Gently fold in the candied fruits to the dough with a spatula.
  • Shape the dough or place it in a suitable mold, then let it rise for 1 to 2 hours.
  • Enhance the dish by brushing it with a blend of egg yolk and a splash of milk, then bake at 180°C for 25-30 minutes.
  • Enhance the luster post-cooking with a warm jelly brush. Garnish using candied orange peels.
  • And yum, yum... There isn't actually much butter in this recipe, so plan to enjoy it the same day to keep it from drying out, which shouldn't be a challenge.
