Yield 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 22

25 g fresh yeast
200 g baking flour
100 ml milk, lukewarm
300 g manitoba flour (wheat flour rich of gluten, alternative 300 g baking flour)
120 g sugar
250 g butter, soft, at room temperature (or good quality margarine, I used margarine)
1 pinch salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 lemon, zest of
1 orange, zest of
1 tablespoon honey
3 egg yolks
100 g lemon zest, candied
100 g orange zest, candied
100 g marzipan, grated
100 g ground almonds
100 g powdered sugar
1 pinch vanilla extract
2 eggs, white
50 g almonds, whole with skin
50 g granulated sugar
2 tablespoons powdered sugar, for topping

Steps:

  • With a food processor mix 100 g flour, milk and yeast. Let rise 30 minutes (covered and in warm place).
  • Add other 100 g flour, if necessary add 1 or 2 tablespoon water. Work until smooth.
  • Let rise 30 minutes (covered and in warm place).
  • Add 150 g Manitoba flour, 60 g sugar and 80 g butter and work well to soft dough.
  • Let rise (covered and in warm place) about 2 hours.
  • Add 150 g Manitoba flour, 170 g butter. Work until butter is adsorbed.
  • Work with the food processor at slow speed for 30 minutes.
  • Add salt, 60 sugar, vanilla, zest (both kind), honey and one by one the egg yolks.
  • Work well and add some flour if it is too sticky (I added 2 tablespoons).
  • Now add candied fruits and marzipan. Work well until incorporated.
  • Let rise (covered and in warm place) about 8 hours or better overnight.
  • Work the dough well.
  • Now shape the dove forming one long piece in the middle and two pieces on the sides (see photo added). Place in your mold. I don't have a dove shaped mold, so I created one myself.
  • Let rise (in warm place) about 6 hours.
  • Preheat the oven at 200°C.
  • For the glaze mix together almond ground, powdered sugar and vanilla. Add the egg white one by one, but stop before it gets to liquid.
  • Glaze gently the dove with this thick mix using a spatula (don't "hurt" the dough) and spread on the whole almonds and the granulated sugar. Before baking top with powdered sugar.
  • Bake 10 minutes at 200°C, reduce the heat at 175°C, protect the glaze with some baking paper and bake for 40 more minutes.
  • Note: beginning on Saturday afternoon step 11 will be overnight! Sunday evening you will enjoy your fresh Easter dove.

  • Place the water, egg yolks, vanilla, and grated peel into the bread machine first. Next add the sugar, salt, flour and pieces of butter around the outside of the metal pan on top of the flour (see photo below). Make an indentation in the flour and add the yeast. Start the bread machine on “dough” setting.
  • When the machine beeps to add additional ingredients to the dough, toss in the sultanas and raisins, and allow the cycle to finish. Keep an eye on the dough after it’s finished and allow to rise until doubled in size.
  • To make the mold. Cut pieces of aluminum foil and fold them over and over to make a long strip (see photo in post). Join them together with metal paper clips and shape into a "dove" shape. I didn't have heavy duty aluminum foil, but this type would be best as it holds it's shape better.
  • Once the dough has doubled in size, punch it down and knead into a ball then cut 1/3 of the dough off and shape into a log. Shape the larger piece into a larger log.
