Categories     dessert

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg yolk
2 teaspoons dried orange peel or zest from 1 orange
2 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 (7-ounce) package almond paste or home made (see Joy of Cooking)
1 egg white
Water
1/2 cup finely chopped almonds`
Egg wash

Steps:

  • Cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg yolk and orange peel. Add flour, don't over mix. If the dough is too crumbly, add a little water. Chill the dough until firm enough to roll out. Make almond paste, or mix prepared almond paste (such as Odense brand) with egg white. If the paste is too hard to mix, grate it into the egg white and add enough water to achieve a spreadable consistency. After the dough is chilled, roll out dough nice and thin. Cut the dough into 3-inch strips. Gather extra dough, repeat until dough is used up. Spread almond paste mixture on dough, leaving 1/4-inch free at the top edge. Gently roll up the dough, and place on a cookie sheet, refrigerating until firm. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove chilled dough from the refrigerator. Slice roll into 2-inch pieces, and arrange these on the cookie sheet, leaving a little room for spreading. Slice each 2-inch roll every 1/4-inch or so from the top down leaving about a 1/4-inch uncut at the bottom. Gently pull down the ends to form a crown shape. Brush each cookie with an egg wash, and sprinkle with almonds. If you prefer, use parl suukar, or edible pearl sugar, for a glittering effect. Bake 15 to 20 minutes, until pale golden in color, remove and cool.

BRAIDED ALMOND-CREAM WREATH (KRANZKUCHEN)



Braided Almond-Cream Wreath (Kranzkuchen) image

Braided Almond-Cream Wreath (Kranzkuchen) is an almond-paste and rum-raisin-stuffed sweet wreath. It is glorious: sticky and rich, winey with rum and almond paste, chewy, and flaky all at once. After baking, when the Kranzkuchen is golden brown and shiny from the apricot glaze and topped with a drizzled glaze, it's as beautiful as it is delicious. I suggest you bake this when you have a lot of people to feed at once-it's best the day it is made.

Yield Makes 1 (13-inch/33cm) wreath

Number Of Ingredients 22

Dough:
3 1/4 cups, scooped and leveled, minus 1 tablespoon/ 400g all-purpose flour, plus more for kneading
1 1/2 teaspoons instant yeast
1/3 cup/70g granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon/190ml whole milk
1 egg
8 tablespoons/115g unsalted high-fat, European-style butter, at room temperature
Filling:
2/3 cup/100g raisins
3 tablespoons dark rum
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 pound/455g almond paste
1/4 cup/50g granulated sugar
1 egg white
1 to 2 tablespoons whole milk
3 1/2 tablespoons/50g unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 teaspoon salt
Glaze:
1/2 cup/150g smooth apricot jam
13 tablespoons/100g confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • To make the dough:
  • In a large bowl, stir together the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Then add the milk and egg and stir briefly. Add the butter and knead the dough briefly by hand in the bowl. Scrape it out onto a lightly floured work surface and continue to knead it for several minutes. You may need to add 1 to 2 additional tablespoons of flour, but resist the urge to add more; the dough should be quite soft and rich. You won't be able to knead it as long as other yeast doughs, but try to get it to a point where it's no longer too sticky and can be formed into a ball.
  • Place the ball back in the bowl. Cover the bowl with a clean dishcloth and place in a warm, draft-free place for 1 hour to rise.
  • To make the filling:
  • Place the raisins in a small bowl and add the rum and lemon juice. Set aside to macerate for 30 minutes.
  • To assemble and bake:
  • Heat the oven to 350°F/180°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, combine the almond paste, sugar, egg white, 1 tablespoon of milk, butter, and salt; knead together by hand until well combined. Knead in the raisins and their macerating liquid. The mixture should be creamy but will still hold its shape when spread. If necessary, mix in the remaining 1 tablespoon of milk. Set aside.
  • When the proofing hour is up, gently tug the dough onto a work surface. Roll out the dough to a 13 by 16-inch/33 by 40cm rectangle. You can pull the edges out to form neat corners.
  • Scrape the filling onto the dough and, using a bench scraper, spread the mixture out evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch/2.5cm border on one of the long sides. Starting from the other long side, roll up the dough. Using a sharp bench scraper, cut the roll of dough in half lengthwise, leaving about 1 inch/2.5cm at one end still attached. Working quickly, twist the 2 strands around each other all the way down the length of the roll. Then form the wrapped dough strands into a circle. Next, slice through the end that you left attached and tuck the end pieces at both ends underneath each other to make a neat closure.
  • Transfer the wreath to the prepared pan (you may need someone to help you do this) and bake for 45 minutes at the second-lowest rack position, rotating halfway through. When finished, the loaf will be golden brown all over and should sound slightly hollow when tapped. It will still be quite soft.
  • To make the glaze:
  • Just before the end of the baking time, heat the apricot jam over medium-high heat until loose and bubbling. When the wreath emerges from the oven, immediately brush it all over with the hot jam. Place the pan on a rack to cool.
  • When the wreath has almost fully cooled, sift the confectioners' sugar into a small bowl and whisk in the water. Whisk until smooth and lump-free. You want a thick but pourable glaze. Add more sugar or a drop more water as needed. Drizzle the glaze back and forth over the entire wreath. Wait 1 hour for the glaze to set and the cake to cool completely and then slice and serve. The cake is best eaten the day it is made, but it can be kept at room temperature, loosely wrapped in plastic wrap, for 2 additional days.
