Rosca de Reyes Recipe, This is another food that I started making at home some years ago because I couldn’t find it here. Nowadays there is a bakery that sells it but the flavors and aromas you get by baking it at home cannot be compared.

Notes

– Make sure you have all the cooking utensils needed. – Read all the instructions from top to bottom before you start baking – Ingredients must be lukewarm as indicated in the list. – Make sure your oven is preheated 20 minutes before baking to help the dough rise.

Instructions

– Pour lukewarm water into a bowl, and sprinkle with yeast. Stir with a fork until yeast has dissolved, then let stand until foamy, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in ½ cup of the flour, and cover bowl with plastic wrap. Let stand in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 25 minutes. – In the meantime, mix flour, eggs, egg yolks, sugar, orange extract, orange zest, salt and butter in a large bowl. Mix until crumbly. Even though I have a Stand mixer this time I kneaded the dough by hand since not everyone has a large mixer but you can do these steps in your Kitchen Aid.
