Important! If your yeast needs to be
rehydrated before use, proceed as indicated by the manufacturer.
1 hour before taking the butter and egg out of
the fridge and make the poolish.
Mix 50 g of flour, 50 ml of water, and yeast.
Cover tightly and let stand for 45 minutes at 1 hour at room temperature. It
has to triple in volume and make lots of bubbles.
Remove the zest from the lemon and orange with
a thin grater.
Put 250 g of flour, sugar, and butter in a
container. Crush with your fingertips to obtain a sandy mixture.
Make a well, add poolish, lemon zest, egg,
olive oil, and orange blossom water. Mix and knead for about 10 minutes, until
the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
Form a ball. Put it in a container. Cover and
let stand for 1 hour to 1 hour and a third at room temperature. The dough
should double in size.
Cut the candied bark into very small pieces.
Add them to the dough. Form a ball. Leave to
rest for 10 minutes. At this point, you can either continue or put the dough in
the fridge one night and resume the next day, letting the dough sit for 30
minutes at room temperature before continuing.
Make a hole in the center of the ball and
gently widen it to obtain a crown about 22 cm in diameter. Hide the subject and
the bean.
Cover and let stand for 1 hour.
About 15 minutes before the end of the lift,
preheat the oven to 180oC, with a small container filled with water, to moisten
the oven.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. If she gilds too
fast, she covers it with this paper.
Allow cooling completely on a wire rack.
Heat the jam in a small saucepan. Brush the
bun with a brush. Sprinkle with pearl sugar and garnish with candied citrus
pieces or wedges.
