INSTRUCTIONS
Dough:
1. The night before, hydrate the raisins and cranberries in the wine.
2. Before starting the buns, drain the liquid from the raisins and cranberries well. You can leave
them in a sieve for 10-15 minutes.
3. Mix the milk with the yeast until the latter melts.
4. Combine milk with flour, whipped milk, egg, butter and honey in the bowl of the mixer.
5. Knead the dough with the help of the hook for 15-20 minutes, checking that the dough starts
to be elastic.
6. Separately, mix the sugar with cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
7. Put the sugar gradually, little by little, over the dough, kneading continuously.
8. When you have finished incorporating the sugar, add the candied orange peel, raisins and
cranberries, all at once.
9. Continue kneading the dough for another 1 minute.
10. Transfer the dough to a bowl greased with a little oil, then cover with foil and refrigerate
overnight, at least 8 hours or 2 hours at room temperature.
11. The next day, form 60g balls and place them in the oven tray, leaving enough space between
them to rise.
12. Let the buns rise for another 1 hour to 2 hours or until they double in volume.
13. Brush with egg then set aside until the flour paste is ready.
Flour paste:
1. Mix the butter with the powdered sugar - do not foam.
2. Add flour and milk, obtaining a paste.
3. Put the paste in a bowl.
4. Cut the dough then pour the paste over each bun, forming a cross.
