Description

After a deep discussion about potato tortilla with or without onion, here comes the new topic: roscón with or without filling. Roscón de Reyes (King's roscón) is a traditional Spanish sweet for Christmas, or more specifically for the Feast of the Holy Kings, which is observed in many countries on January 6th. It is a sort of sweet bread, with the shape of a ring, and it usually has a small surprise inside, like a small toy. You can have it with or without filling, from heavy cream to chocolate. There are many people who don’t believe a roscón with filling is the real one. And we're here to start the fire, again, with not one, but three roscón recipes, each with a unique filling. 

Ingredients

Servings for

Strong flour
350 g
Sugar
125 g
Milk
125 g
Butter at room temperature
75 g
Baker's yeast
25 g
Egg yolks
2
A pinch of salt
Teaspoon of orange blossom water
1
Pastry cream
250 g
Chocolate truffle
250 g
Heavy cream
250 g

Preparation

1

Pour into the beaker of a mixer or food processor flour, sugar, milk, butter, baker’s yeast, egg yolks, orange blossom water, and a pinch of salt.

2

Mix for 5 to 10 minutes until everything is well combined.

3

Put the dough on the countertop, shape a ball with the help of some flour to prevent it from sticking, and place it in a bowl. Cover it with cling film.

4

Let it rise with the rising function of the oven at 35°C for 1 hour. Then, take the ball and divide it into three small balls of the same weight. Make a hole in the centre and place them on an oven tray with some kind of object in the middle to keep the hole during baking.

5

Place it back in the oven for another hour at 35°C to rise.Brush with egg and garnish with candied fruit.

6

Bake for 30 minutes at 160°C.

Chef's tip

Set aside to cool and fill each roscón with your favourite flavour. We have chosen pastry cream, heavy cream, and chocolate truffle.
