For alternatives, the first listed ingredient is used. Cooking losses have not been measured.

Calculated estimate using the reference foods below. Substitute products, item weights and consumed fractions are assumptions. Ordinary cooking oil and marinades are counted in full; frying oil, coatings, bones and whole roasts use the stated factors. The higher serving count is used for ranges.

Ingredients

  • 500 g flour
  • 200 ml milk
  • 25g yeast
  • 100 g sugar
  • 100g butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 orange
  • 100 g candied fruits

Instructions

  1. Heat the milk to lukewarm and dissolve the yeast in it. Knead with flour, sugar, butter, eggs and grated orange peel to form a smooth yeast dough.
  2. Cover and let rise for 60-90 minutes until the volume increases significantly. Shape into a ring with a large center opening.
  3. Let rise on baking paper for another 30-45 minutes. Top with the candied fruits without pressing them completely into the dough.
  4. Bake at 180 °C top/bottom heat for 25-35 minutes and let cool for at least 45 minutes. Don't hide little surprise figures unnoticed in the pastry.
