3 kings bread recipe

Soft and fluffy Rosca De Reyes stuffed with dulce de leche and raisins, topped with coconut, almonds, and candied cherries, then brushed in sticky simple syrup!

Rosca de Reyes come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and flavors. Traditionally, they are not filled, but I really like the flavors of buttery cinnamon rolls and wanted the same comforting flavors. Traditionally, the bread is garnished with “jewels” to represent a crown. Usually a small clay or porcelain doll is baked inside, but I added a plastic baby doll after it was baked and sneaked him into one of the slits.

Rosca de Reyes, or Three Kings Bread, is a soft orange-flavored sweet bread that's traditionally made in Mexico to celebrate Three Kings Day.

Making the classic Three Kings Day Bread or Roscón de Reyes preserves the longstanding tradition that celebrates the Spaniard legacy and the Epiphany. In Mexico, the tradition of the Three Kings Day or Epiphany started in the sixteenth century by the Catholic missionaries. The recipe for making this classic sweet bread has all-purpose flour, eggs, butter, candied fruits, and includes several Baby Jesus figurines. We replaced the plastic figurines with almonds.
