Preparation
-
Dissolve the baker's yeast in the warm milk and add the remaining ingredients, except for the candied fruit and dried fruits. Knead everything very well until the mixture comes off your hands. Cover with a cloth and let it rest in a warm place for around 20 minutes.
-
After this time, mix the candied fruit and dried fruits, both chopped, and form a ball. Let it ferment for another 20 minutes.
-
With your thumb, make a cavity in the center of the ball and, with the help of both hands, form a crown. Transfer to a tray, previously greased with butter and sprinkled with flour, and let it rest until it almost doubles in size.
-
Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with chopped almond kernels and pine nuts. Decorate with candied fruit and powdered sugar and bake at 190° C for 35 to 40 minutes. Leave to cool and brush with quince jelly, previously heated.
