Tortell!

The first sweet I made in 2011 was Tortell.
As you may know, Tortell(Roscón de reyes in Spanish) is the traditional sweet Spanish people have on 6th of January.
It is made with sweet bread dough like Brioche and decorated with fruit comfiture.
And the important point is that a King figure and a bean are hidden inside and the person who receives the piece with the King will be crowned and treated as King and the other who receives the bean has to pay the tortell.

Nowadays we can find Tortell filled with whipped cream, chocolate cream or custard cream, but I found an article which explained that Tortell with filling was strayed because the cream ruined the taste of Torell itself...

ANYWAY, I love Tortell with cream!
So this year I put custard cream.

Fruit comfiture is not popular at home, so I put a few of them, then... Looks sad, doesn't it?

＜Recipe＞
Strong flour　500g
Sugar        　　80g
Milk        　　100ml
Egg　　　       　2
Ron            　10ml
Salt      　　　　5g
Yeast　         25g（If you use dry yeast, put the QTY corresponding to 500g flour)
Butter       　100g(Room temperature)

1.　Mix milk and egg and warm up to 40℃.
2.   Put everything except butter in the bowl and mix them.
3.　Once mixed, add butter(softened) and mix them.
4.　Knead it on the table as making bread.
5.　Leave it to be fermented(around 1hour until the volume is doubled)
6.　Remove the gas and round it.
7.   Make a hole at centre and shape it into ring.
8.　Decorate with fruit comfiture and almond and leave it to be fermented once again.
9.　Brush it with egg and bake in the oven(200℃, 15-20min)

It tastes nice as it is but if you like, fill with cream.

Bon profit!!!
