Ingredients:

3 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour

1/2 cup of sugar

1/2 cup of warm milk

1/4 cup of vegetable oil

1/4 cup of orange juice

1 tablespoon of active dry yeast

1 tablespoon of orange zest

1 teaspoon of almond extract

1/2 teaspoon of salt

1/4 cup of sliced almonds

1/4 cup of candied fruits for decoration

For the glaze:

1/2 cup of powdered sugar

2 tablespoons of orange juice

Preparation:

1. Activate the yeast

In a small bowl, mix the warm milk with the sugar and yeast. Let it sit for about 10 minutes, or until the mixture becomes frothy. This step is crucial for the bread to rise properly.

Temperature: Room temperature
Time: 10 minutes

2. Prepare the dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, orange zest, almond extract, and salt. Add the yeast mixture, orange juice, and vegetable oil. Mix everything until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Temperature: Room temperature
Time: 5-7 minutes

3. Let the dough rise

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until it doubles in size.

Temperature: Warm place
Time: 1-2 hours

4. Shape the Roscón de Reyes

Punch down the risen dough and shape it into a ring, making a hole in the center. Place the dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover it again and let it rise for another 30 minutes.

Temperature: Room temperature
Time: 30 minutes

5. Bake the Roscón de Reyes

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Brush the top of the dough with some milk and sprinkle the sliced almonds on top. Bake the Roscón de Reyes for about 25-30 minutes, or until it turns golden brown.

Temperature: 350°F (180°C)
Time: 25-30 minutes

6. Make the glaze

In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar with the orange juice until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the baked Roscón de Reyes and decorate with the candied fruits.
