Roscon De Reyes is a traditional Spanish pastry that is usually enjoyed on the morning of January 6th, Three Kings Day, also known as Epiphany. This cake is usually shaped like a crown, to represent the crowns worn by the Three Wise Men who visited baby Jesus in the Bible story. The candied fruit and peel on top of the pastry represent the jewels in the crown. The pastry is often served with hot chocolate or coffee, and it is a fun and delicious way to celebrate the day. With this recipe, you can bring a bit of Spanish tradition to your home.

Instructions

1.Warm the milk in a small pot over low heat until it reaches 105 - 110°F, then pour into a mixing bowl.
2.Add the yeast and 1/2 cup flour to the bowl and mix to combine. Let sit for 15 minutes.
3.Add the butter, sugar, and salt to the mixing bowl. Mix well until combined.
4.Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

6.Knead on a floured surface for 10-12 minutes until smooth and elastic.
